Ben Valentine ([email protected]) or Karen Knudson ([email protected])
This is a one-night experience designed to reinvigorate the Church with a fresh understanding of who the Holy Spirit is and inspire a passion for life in union with Him. This is accomplished through a world-class experience that is unlike any church event or service before it.
At Awaken Iowa, every person in attendance will be invited to draw near to God and respond to His invitation with prayer. Those gathered will experience:
A welcoming and joyful atmosphere,
A Jesus-centered, mission-focused, and joy-filled team of Damascus missionaries engaged in the community,
A high-quality production event with worship, dynamic preaching, and opportunity for a prayer response, and
An environment where the human heart encounters the love of God in a personal and powerful way through heartfelt prayer and Eucharistic adoration.
Awaken Iowa will take place in Cedar Rapids on Saturday, October 19, 2024 at Veterans Memorial Coliseum and welcome over 1,000 youth, young adults, families with younger children, grandparents, older adults ... in essence, anyone!
