Awakening Ministry Team

The Awakening Ministry Team is a student driven outreach of Lindsey Wilson College. It is a team of committed, gifted student leaders who travel in order to spread a message of spiritual awakening through their talents and testimonies. The Awakening team travels to local churches throughout Kentucky leading primarily in Sunday morning worship services; the team also takes a yearly spiritual journey to a destination within the United States, and participates in missions throughout the world.

Over the past several academic years the Awakening Ministry Team has represented Lindsey Wilson College while serving with forty-three different churches and faith-based or community organizations.  These experiences have led the team on adventures ranging from leading bible school in an orthodox parish church in rural Romania to sharing music with patients at an AIDS Care home in Kansas City. Awakening's central task of ministering to congregations keeps them closer to home - but puts them on the road two weekends a month during the academic year. The team visits churches of various denominations, sizes, and styles across the Commonwealth of Kentucky, sharing through the arts, music, and testimony. It is a ministry that students are passionate about and a reflection of spiritual growth at Lindsey Wilson College.

An Invitation to Worship with You

Awakening travels by the invitation of churches throughout the region, who are willing to host the team, including overnight if necessary, and receive a creative, vital message of being alive to God's fullness.

Several clubs also promote spiritual growth, worship and fellowship:

• The Lindsey Wilson chapter of Baptist Student Union is a thriving group that works to disciple students as they challenge tough biblical questions.
• Catholics United For the Faith is Catholic student discussion group that explores the relevant and significance of the Catholic faith for Catholic and non-Catholic students.
• Living In Faith Eternally is an interdenominational club that hosts a weekly contemporary worship service as an effort to integrate worship and campus outreach.
• Raiders in Christ is a weekly devotional group hosted by members of the local Church of Christ.
• Through Small Group Ministry, students meet for Bible study and fellowship. A variety of groups meet the variety of needs on campus. Groups include: Alpha, Beta, independent studies, and therapeutic groups. Groups meet at various times, days and places.
• Numerous special events are also held throughout the school year. Past events have included concerts featuring Pax217, Third Day and Ginny Owens; "Read Through the Gospel," an outdoor Bible Reading event; conferences and retreats; and mission trips to Chicago, Kansas City, Florida, Oklahoma and California.
