AWAKENING STAFF
Clint McKinnis - Lead Pastor
Hello, my name is Clint. My wife Rachel and I have been married since 2003 and have 4 children (Elias, Jael, Ashenafi, Teru). We are from Indiana but have called Eugene home since we moved here in 2009. We live in the Whiteaker neighborhood and love it. I serve as the Lead Pastor of Awakening Church but also work one day a week as a Physical Therapist at Sacred Heart Hospital in Eugene. Feel free to email me if you have any questions or just want to talk.

Kayla Franklin - Worship Pastor
I have been married to my hilarious, supportive, rock-solid husband, Aaron, since 2008. We have three awesome daughters, Eleanor (Nora), Margot and Louisa. They are spunky, joyful, strong-willed, compassionate, adventurous and bring so much light into our lives. My husband and I love to spend time together laughing at our favorite shows, traveling, and being with family and enjoying nature. I believe that when we humbly worship Jesus, we can experience His presence in life-changing and profound ways. I am excited to continue learning what it means to be a dedicated worshipper of the King and to partner with our church body as we pursue Jesus.

Staci Nickleson - Children’s Ministry Pastor
Hi! I’m Staci Nickleson and I serve in the role of Children’s Ministry Leader at Awakening Church. Ever since I was a child myself I have found joy in being around young kids. I am a teacher by trade and now put that experience to good use with my two children, Graeme & Elsie, as a stay-at-home mom and homeschooler. My husband, Derek, and I are Indiana natives and are grateful for the active outdoor lifestyle we and our kids can live here in Eugene. We are very appreciative of the community we have at Awakening Church and look forward to meeting you and your family!
