AWAKE WILMINGTON
Empowering God’s People to Defend Liberty
Liberty is a gift from God, not the government.
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” – Galatians 5:1
"Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will give you light." – Ephesians 5:14
Our Mission
Education
Help God's people to become more informed about our Christian heritage and to gain an understanding of the times from a Biblical Worldview.
Engagement
Empower and urge God's people to vote and get responsibly involved in Biblical Citizenship. This entails engaging in our political processes so that the precious liberties, such as freedom of speech and freedom of religion, can be retained and maintained.
Encouragement
Challenge God’s people to intercede in daily prayer for our nation and representative leadership. When national issues arise that are beyond the scope of the normal governmental process, the need for intercessory prayer is of utmost importance.
Our Values
INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM
Government exists to protect the freedom of each individual, not to restrict it.
GOD GIVEN RIGHTS
Every person has inherent ability and dignity bestowed by God and is responsible to steward his/her time, talent, and treasure.
RIGHT TO LIFE
All life is sacred and must be protected, especially the defenseless innocent and unborn. Life is a God Given right granted to us all and is incumbent upon us to defend it.
SECOND AMENDMENT
Our right and freedom to bear arms gives us the ability to defend ourselves and our loved ones.
CONSTITUTIONALIST
The preservation of our nation and the security of our citizens depend on every citizen’s respect for the Constitution, the laws, and the courts.
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
Equal rights, equal justice, and equal opportunity belong to all, regardless of race, creed, color, national origin, or sex.
FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
Government must maintain sound money and a responsible economy. The rights of life and liberty are meaningless if citizens are deprived of their property through excessive taxation, inflation, and government waste.
