THE Family Network

Awaken intentionally chooses to place itself within the family of other churches as we continue to join God on mission throughout the Hampton Roads area.  Each church in the Family Network contributes talent, resources, and spiritual capital to leverage greater growth and kingdom advancement than we ever could on our own.  Our view on the Bride of Christ, or the Church globally is expressed throughout our Family as we look to serve each other as the Body of Christ is designed.

The Family chooses to function under the following 4 R’s to see greater kingdom impact:  

Reproducing:  We desire to help existing, traditional forms of the church see the ability to reproduce themselves through the laity of the church.

Relationships:  We desire to help connect existing churches to both church plants and existing forms of the church to see greater impact within the Tidewater area.

Resourcing:  We desire to help create opportunities for Church Planters in the Tidewater area to pursue their calling through coaching with the V3 Movement, resourcing options, and close relationships.

Residency:  We desire to create opportunities to grow Church Planters, Pastors and Missionaries from within our existing churches by creating a Regional Residency Program.

V3 - Church Planting Movement

At the heart of developing a church planting movement is understanding that we serve a triune missionary God, who has sent us into the world to bless people and seek transformation.  

V3 exists to help you start disciple-making churches that are a sign, foretaste and instrument of God’s kingdom.  If you want to find partners in the gospel, experience renewal, discover the latest resources in church planting with a movement mentality, learn from experienced planters and those gifted differently than you, and contribute to a larger movement, then the V3 Movement is where you want to go.
