Awaken Church | Our Team Preview
our team

the people behind awaken.

awaken isn't run by one person on a stage. it's built by a team that loves jesus, loves people, and shows up week after week to make sunday happen and tuesday matter. these are the humans behind the church.

tyler & kayla harris.

lead pastors of awaken church

tyler launched awaken church in january 2022 with a simple conviction: there should be a place in cartersville where the spirit of god moves freely, the word of god is taught clearly, and the family of god grows together. that conviction still drives everything.

kayla serves alongside tyler as a co-laborer in every sense. she leads with warmth, builds family wherever she goes, and is the steady heartbeat of awaken's culture.

together, tyler and kayla pastor a community that is theologically conservative, methodologically modern, and unashamedly pentecostal. they believe the best days of awaken are still ahead.

the rest of the team

built together. led together.

awaken is led by a team that wears a lot of hats and shows up for each other. each one of these humans makes sundays possible and the awaken family stronger.
