We are a vibrant church located in the heart of Upper Hutt. We want to break down the misunderstandings and misconceptions of how good our God is and be a church that represents His true nature. God is good and we want you to experience His goodness!
“I’d been following on Facebook for a couple of months before
I actually visited. I chose to call Awaken home because of the welcoming, friendly atmosphere and people.” |
We believe:
You Belong.
You Can Live Free.
You Have Purpose.
You are Significant.
We believe that all people are significant. Apprentices/disciples are followers of Jesus. We never grow out of being apprentices.
You are significant as you are learning that you Belong.
You are significant as you discover what it is to Live Free.
You are significant as you are equipped to live and work out your Purpose.
An apprentice/disciple is on the way to becoming emotionally mature
We are learning to love ourselves. To be ‘self-governing’ means to be self-aware and to take personal responsibility for my attitudes, actions, and thoughts.
An apprentice/disciple is becoming relationally mature
We are learning to love others. My relationship with Jesus is directly moulded and influenced by the Spirit who produces his fruit in me. (Galatians 5:22-23).
An apprentice/disciple is becoming spiritually mature
We are learning to Love God. Disciples of Jesus will build significant lifestyles that advance the Kingdom as we love God, others, and self. As we pursue the two great commandments everything else falls into order.

Foundational Beliefs.
God is always good
We passionately believe God is always good, that His thoughts towards us are for good and not for evil, that it’s the
goodness of God that leads us to repentance.
“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights,
who does not change like shifting shadows” James 1:17
Jesus paid the price in full
We believe that Jesus was the perfect sacrifice for our sin and redemption. We believe that salvation includes deliverance, healing,
and wholeness and every believer is a whole new creation.
“But when this Priest had offered the one supreme sacrifice for sin for all time
he sat down on a throne at the right hand of God.” Hebrews 10:12
We are Spirit filled, led and empowered
We believe in the indwelling and empowering presence of God through the baptism of the Holy Spirit. We believe every believer is empowered to live as Jesus lived in the flesh,
to pray for the sick, believe for miracles, and see the realities of heaven become a reality here on earth.
The church is God’s plan A, there is no plan B
We believe that the Bible is God’s story of His covenant relationship with mankind. That His plan has always been for the redemption and restoration of all creation. We believe that the church partners with God in this co-mission of restoring all things. The Church is God’s plan, there is no other hope for humanity.
