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.

hanna sherwood - Children’s Ministry coordinator

Hey friends! My name is Hanna. I am a born & raised Eugenian, and fiercely love every inch of this vibrant valley. My fervent prayer is for each child to know within the depths of their soul that God cherishes their life, delights in hearing their voice, and desires to share in the richness of this beautiful bond with them forever. Come visit anytime! I am grateful to make this pilgrimage alongside you.
