A REVIVAL IN THE VERDE VALLEY

AWAKENING 2025

In a season when many are longing for hope and direction, AWAKENING: A Revival in the Verde Valley invites our entire community to come together under the open Arizona sky to encounter God in a fresh way. This free, two-day event at the Camp Verde Rodeo Arena is more than a gathering — it’s a call to return to Christ and be equipped to live out your faith. Throughout the weekend there will be powerful worship, Christ-centered preaching, heartfelt prayer, and opportunities for baptism, learning, apologetics training, and spiritual growth. Whether you’ve followed Jesus for years or are just beginning to seek Him, you are welcome.
