About Us.
GO into the world, TELL people about Jesus and LIVE lives according to God's will.
ACTING IN FAITH
OUR ORIGINS
Rooted in the Awaken Church Community, founded in Las Vegas, Awaken Great Bay Church was planted in 2014 as a spiritual hub for Seacoast New Hampshire, carrying a deep-seated calling to bring Christ’s light to Greater New England and beyond.
OUR PURPOSE
LIVING FOR CHRIST
We want to fulfill the great commission by walking out God's Calling to wake up the spiritually dead.
"Awake, O sleeper, and rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."
-Ephesians 5:14
A Calvary Chapel Church
Awaken Great Bay is proud to be a Calvary Chapel church, offering accountability and fellowship within a respected Global Network. While maintaining our independent, non-denominational status, each church governs itself with its own leadership, pastors, and elders. This structure ensures each community is autonomous and aligned with its unique mission and values.
Our Beliefs
WE EXIST TO LOVE GOD AND OTHERS
We exist to love God and others, fulfilling the entire law as summarized by Jesus. This love is only possible through the power of the Holy Spirit working in our lives.
PEOPLE ARE OUR PURPOSE
We believe there is no higher calling than proclaiming the gospel of Christ through word and actions. Discipleship flourishes as we study God's Word and engage in ministry and outreach.
SERVING IS OUR PRIVILEGE
God calls us to actively live out our faith, not sit idly. Through serving God and others, we mature spiritually and find true joy.
FAITH IS OUR RESPONSE
We believe that God desires to work in every life. A life led by the Holy Spirit is the best life, and God's grace is always sufficient when we fall short.
COMMUNITY IS OUR DESIRE
We aim to be a life-changing community where each member becomes a clearer image of Jesus. True community begins with serious fellowship and grows as we open up and shed our pretenses.
WORSHIP IS OUR PASSION
We exist to worship God through music, prayer, and a life devoted to Jesus. Our entire lives are an offering of worship to God.
THE WORD IS OUR GUIDE
All Scripture is God-breathed, alive, and infallible. We hold God's Word as the ultimate authority on how we live and teach expository, verse-by-verse, to uncover its profound truths.
JESUS IS OUR ANCHOR
Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins, rose again on the third day, and triumphed over death and hell.
