It is a multi-generational, multi-ethnic congregation with ministries in English, Spanish, and Burmese, and a goal to be offering services in 5 languages over the next 10 years. Its 13-acre campus along with 1000-seat worship center and numerous education and athletic facilities are home to the church’s many ministries as well as its K4-12th Grade Christian school, Garland Christian Academy, Launchpad Learning Center (childcare for birth - 6th grade) and Awaken Coffee House (open M-F to the community, 100% of proceeds donated to missions).
