Ways We Gather
GOSPEL SATURATED WORSHIP
Our worship gatherings will be unashamedly saturated in the gospel for the glorification of God, edification of Christians, and salvation of non-Christians.
GOSPEL SATURATED COMMUNITY
At City Awakening these groups are about doing life together, as we live on mission together.
GOSPEL SATURATED MULTIPLICATION
We gather together for gospel saturated worship and community, but we will also scatter our church for gospel saturated multiplication.
WE BELIEVE….
Below is a shortlist of some of the primary doctrinal beliefs that we have at City Awakening.
You can find a more detailed list here: Doctrinal Beliefs and Supporting Scriptures.
The Bible
We believe the Bible was written by men, it was divinely inspired by God, and its content is completely trustworthy, relevant, and authoritative since God’s the one who guided its development. The Bible instructs us on how to live our lives, but its primary message reveals who God is and what God has done for us. It details God’s plan to redeem humanity and restore the world through Jesus. We call this message the “Gospel.”
The Gospel
We believe the Gospel is “good news.” The good news is that Jesus is God in the flesh who came to live, die, and rise again as the Bible foretold. Jesus did this to save us from sin, from eternal hell which we deserve because of sin, and to unite us with God forever. Our salvation isn’t based upon who we are or what we’ve done, rather it’s all based upon who Jesus is and what Jesus has done. We cannot outwork the work that Jesus did for us on the cross. He willingly took the punishment we deserved and satisfied both the justice and mercy of God. Simply put, Jesus is the hero of the story, not us! So when you read the Bible, read it through that lens. Read it through the lens of the Gospel knowing that it’s not just some moral rule book, rather it’s about a loving God who pursues after us. Read it knowing that it’s all about Jesus!
The Church
We believe the Church is a community of people who believe in the Gospel and who gather for the purposes of glorifying God, edifying each other, and spreading the Gospel through the making and sending of disciples. We also believe that God cares about His creation, that the Church is to show love for every person, and the way to do that is by being both a proclamation and a visible presentation of the love that’s found in the Gospel. The scope of God’s love is worldwide, and City Awakening is committed to taking the love of the Gospel worldwide, even to the farthest and most unreached places of the world.
