Awakening Church

About this church

Awakening Church in Smithfield, Rhode Island, holds weekend services on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. and on Sunday at 9 a.m., 10:30 a.m., and 12 p.m., at 1 New England Way. Services include prayer, worship, communion, and a Bible message centered on Jesus, and Spanish translation is available at every service. The church is Pentecostal in emphasis and calls itself presence-driven; its statement of faith includes the baptism of the Holy Spirit, spiritual gifts, anointing with oil, and water baptism. It began about thirty years ago as New Life Worship Center.

Awakening Kids serves children from 3 months through 11 years during services, in the lobby of a building next to the main church, with check-in opening 15 minutes before each service and a pre-teen group for ages 9 to 11. Awakening Youth meets Thursdays at 7 p.m. for ages 12 to 19. Crews are small groups that meet every other week in homes, coffee shops, and restaurants across Rhode Island and southern New England. Remnant is the men's ministry, and a monthly outreach partnership distributes resources to people in need across Rhode Island. A free four-week Next Steps course follows the Sunday services, with childcare provided, and baptism is open to anyone 12 or older. Confirm times on the website.
