At Awakened Youth, our mission is to encourage and equip the next generation to become more like Christ. Students will experience sound biblical teaching that challenges them to grow in their faith while discovering the transformative power of God’s Word in their own lives. Through authentic relationships, relevant teaching, and active discipleship, we seek to inspire and guide our youth to grow spiritually, serve selflessly, and lead others to the love and truth of Jesus.

Our vision is to see every young person fully awakened to their God-given purpose, living out their faith with courage and conviction. Awakened Youth aims to be a beacon of light, fostering a generation that is spiritually strong, socially engaged, and passionately committed to spreading the Gospel and transforming the world for God's glory.

If you're seeking a thriving community where your child can deepen their relationship with God, be empowered by the Holy Spirit and embrace their identity in Christ you’ve come to the right place. Join us every Wednesday from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM in the sanctuary of Praise Community Church. Our ministry is open to students in grades 6 through 12.

We look forward to seeing you and your family at Awakened Youth!
