LIFE GROUPS

VISION

Life Groups exist to create space outside of Sundays for experiencing and building community.

With a life group, we hope that you find a safe place to be authentic in who you are, ask questions, and journey deeper in faith with Jesus at the center. Life groups focus time processing the current sermon series and sharing life together. Our groups meet at different times and are located throughout the Twin Cities. Once you decide to call Awaken your faith community, life groups are a wonderful way to experience belonging.

OPEN GROUPS

KATIE & MARY - SAINT PAUL
We are two women in mid-life who have longed to build connections with other women at Awaken. Our group offers a safe space for sharing about the times when God has shown up in our lives and times when we feel God’s absence, a community of women that walk alongside each other through the easy and the hard, and a place where pretenses fall away and we are allowed to bring our true selves into the room.
PAULA & BARETT  - SAINT PAUL (MIDWAY/FROGTOWN)
Looking to dig deeper or refresh the Sunday message in your soul? The Steenrods would love to invite you to their relationship status integrated, yet toddler friendly, life group. They meet the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month, share a potluck dinner, and get done at a time when those who have them can get their littles to bed. 
TROY & MELEAH - WEST ST. PAUL
We are the Millers, and we live in West Saint Paul (which is actually south or east of most of Saint Paul) with three kids and a Corgi. Over the past few years we've felt called to connect with our neighbors and build community in our neighborhood. We also enjoy sharing the challenges and joys of the journey towards Christ-likeness with others. We usually meet twice a month and often share meals together. We want to encourage each other organically and intentionally.  
CHRISTY & MARTY - SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS
We are Christy and Marty and we live in the South Minneapolis area.  Our life group has couples and individuals with age ranges from later 20's into their 40's. We seek to help one another deepen our faith and create meaningful connections. We also intertwine conversations about social justice, and equality, and how that impacts our faith journey.  We meet twice a month, once for a social activity and the other time for focused discussion at our house. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate families with kids at this time.  We look forward to meeting you!
CORY & EMILY - SAINT PAUL (WEST 7TH)
This group of adults typically meets twice per month. Once per month they enjoy a meal together at the Ehlebracht's home in the West 7th Neighborhood in Saint Paul, and once per month the group meets at a restaurant or brewery, usually in Saint Paul.  The group is composed of a mix of single and married adults. The group enjoys social events together and mixes in game nights, bonfires, and brewery trivia nights from time to time. We are open to additions! 
NEW GROUPS
We have two new groups looking to start - an intergenerational group in Eagan and a family group in St. Louis Park. Contact Cathy if you are interested.
