Awaken Youth Ministry
Welcome to the Awaken Youth Ministry
Meet Ashley Watson, South Bay’s Youth Ministry Director.

Awaken is the first stage of growth of your journey to spiritual maturity. It is the stage in which we encounter God and ourselves. It is time to wake up to the reality of the life we’ve been called to live in Christ. When God awakens us, we realize He has a plan for our lives. We can live into that plan by using our gifts, talents, and abilities.

Color the World with Kindness and Volunteer with Us!
We've partnered with Youth Spirit Artworks to transform tiny homes into vibrant and welcoming spaces for those in need. These tiny homes serve as vital shelters for young adults.
By lending our hands and hearts to this cause, we can help keep our youth off the streets and provide them with the stability and security they deserve.
Witnessing the impact of your efforts firsthand and seeing the joy on the faces of those we're helping will fill your heart with warmth and gratitude.
- Date: Saturday, May 11
- Time: 11 AM – 2 PM
- Location: 633 Hegenberger Rd, Lot C, Oakland, CA, 94621

While we may have just a few, Jesus loves the little children (ages 3-11) as much as we do, and we want to welcome them with open arms.
Children's church will run on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Sundays and include music, Biblical stories, and creative activities introducing them to God's love and nurturing their spiritual growth.
If you love the laughter of little ones, then the G.L.O.W. team would love to have you as a volunteer. Options are limitless, ranging from classroom support or assisting with snacks and crafts. If this opportunity tugs at your heartstrings, drop a note to Ashley Watson via the church directory or sign up below on the events page and select your support role.
