About
Mission
Our mission at Awakening Christian Ministries is to bring the teachings of Christ to life, applying them to body, mind, soul, and Spirit, leaving believers firmly rooted, deeply transformed, and passionately alive. We believe a vibrant relationship with Christ is deeply life-giving, and His teachings when fully understood and applied, lead to a solid identity that empowers people to live out their greater purpose in life. Our goal is to provide opportunities for believers to experience honest vulnerability, safety in community, healing, and transformative faith.
Our Story
Awakening ministries was started by co-founders Alia Fisher and Kristy Peatrowsky. Kristy has served for many years as a women's pastor, is a Master level Splankna practitioner, and has used her gifts of creativity to organize a variety of large events for her church and her community. Alia is the co-founder of Praise in Motion, a Christian movement ministry, and is Professional Christian Counselor as well as a Master Splankna Practioner. Kristy's long-term vision of creating a transformational women's retreat connected with Alia's conviction and deep love for helping women find greater freedom. Together they began creating various women's retreats and many detours and life lessons later they officially launched Awakening Ministries in 2019. After four years of operating as an LLC and watching many women's lives be transformed, the two felt led to create a 501(c)3 non profit organization to better facilitate their mission and vision. In 2023 Awakening Christian Ministries was born.

Statement of Faith
Awakening Christian Ministries is, at our core foundation, a religious/spiritual organization and our principles are rooted in the Word of God.
We Believe…
-
There is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is the creator and ruler of all things and the redeemer of mankind.
-
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He died on the cross as a perfect sacrifice to pay the penalty for our sins and God raised him from the dead on the third day.
-
The Holy Spirit is our guide and comforter. The Holy Spirit empowers believers to fulfill God’s vision and purpose for their lives by indwelling the body of a confessed believer in Christ.
-
People are created by God to worship Him and have a personal relationship with Him.
-
Salvation is a gift offered to us by God’s grace apart from any personal work or achievement. Salvation from our human condition of brokenness/sin is the common need of all people and can only be found through Jesus Christ.
-
The appropriate response to God’s grace is to believe, repent, confess, be baptized, and partner our lives with Jesus and His mission.
-
The Bible is the authoritative Word of God which guides all we say and do. It is truth without error (although subject to human misinterpretation), and it is the source for knowing God’s will for our lives.
-
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Our Team
​
Awakening Ministries operates with a very small team of highly qualified individuals, including pastors, counselors, those trained in healing prayer, Praise in Motion, and Splankna. Most of our team is comprised of women who are called into ministering to other women and help us lead the retreats on a volunteer basis. We require all of our leaders to attend a retreat prior to serving on leadership, they must have a live, active, and vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ, and they must be committed to our mission and our statement of faith.
