This building, with the Awaken City Church sign, is located on South Elm Street, just after Lee Street, or, as it is now called, Gate City Boulevard. However, the above building is for sale and in checking their website, it appears that Awaken City Church has moved to 2100 Fairfax Road, Suite 102C, over near I-40 and Merritt Drive. In addition to regular services, the church has an active youth program as well as breakfast for the homeless. They provide breakfast in Center City Park on Sunday mornings at 8:00 am, serving approximately 100 people.
The church believes in God and Jesus and is part of the Global Legacy church network. They appear to be non-denominational. The staff and congregation seem very committed to their ministry to the homeless and to seeing that people in need are helped. They probably moved because they outgrew the above location. We'll have to head over to the Fairfax Road facility to see.
Happy Sunday and, if you know someone in need to a good meal, tell them about the Sunday breakfast in Center City Park. Happy Sunday.
Very modern design. There's one here that outgrew its former location as well.
