AWAKE is a missional community joining Jesus in bringing love and renewal in lives and places along Seattle’s Aurora Avenue.
Aurora Commons
After years of life and listening along Aurora, Awake developed the vision for the Aurora Commons – a neighborhood place for hospitality and relationship; a space for holistic renewal through various activities; a bridge to resources (i.e., housing, mental health, addiction, etc.); and a hub for churches, businesses, and neighborhood groups to join together to care to our neighborhood. We’re now open! Find out more here. Connect on Facebook here.
The Vacancy Project is a grassroots neighborhood response to the issue of homelessness along the Aurora corridor. By providing financial assistance through small no-interest loans and relational support through “circles of care,” the Vacancy Project seeks to partner with residents of Aurora motels and other homeless neighbors as they seek to escape the cycle of poverty and transition into stable, affordable housing. We’ve already assisted 4 families/individuals and look forward to helping many more in the future! To give to the VP fund, go here. To inquire about “circles of care,” contact info@awakechurch.org.
Awake is a founding member of the Parish Collective, a growing network of neighborhood-focused churches seeking to join God in the holistic renewal of Seattle. Check out our website to learn what it means to be a rooted ‘parish’ and why its important to be linked as a ‘collective’. The Parish Collective gathers quarterly.
Collective Hope is an international non-profit organization committed to gathering hope to fight global poverty, founded by Andrew and Christy Bauman, two members of the Awake community. Specifically, CH is fighting poverty in the African country of Malawi through re-newing hope, re-establishing dignity, and redeeming love. Follow Collective Hope’s inspiring work on Facebook.
