A National Conference Hosted by The Porch
The Awaken Conference exists to gather any and every young adult who longs for more and invite them into the fullness of life with God. Join us for a weekend that cuts through the noise and awakens us to a heavenly reality.
Awaken is a national young adult conference hosted by The Porch at Watermark Community Church in Dallas, TX. This Labor Day weekend, young adults will gather for worship, teaching, prayer, and community with one goal: to step out of tired routine and become aware of the transformative presence of God.
Designed as a holy interruption, the weekend will be both refreshing and reverent, helping attendees return home renewed and ready to follow Jesus.
"Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near... "

In general? You, hopefully. But as far as speakers and artists go...that’s coming soon.
While we love kids, childcare is not available during the conference. If you have a nursing infant that is six months or under, they are allowed at this event, but we kindly ask that parents be mindful of noise during mainstage sessions. There will be nursing and pumping rooms available for mothers. If this applies to you, please email awaken@theporch.live, we’d love to connect and know who you are!
Yes! Bag check will be available on the last day of the conference (Monday, 9/7). Please make sure you drop your bags where you are staying before checking into the conference on Saturday, 9/5.
In order to create a worshipful and non-distracting space, we ask that all attendees dress modestly and comfortably. We know it’s awkward to walk into a new room and feel like you didn’t understand the assignment, but TRUST US — this is not a time that you need to buy a new outfit, just come in whatever makes you feel comfortable.
Yes! Join us that Tuesday at 7PM if you’re still in town!
