ATDU – Awaken the Dawn

WE EXIST TO DISCIPLE AMERICA & THE NATIONS

WHAT IS ATDU?

Communion America was a commissioning not simply an event. ATDU is an invitation to now walk out the profound storyline Jesus is unfolding in real time with our Communion America and Awaken the Dawn community!

Your voice matters and you are invited to join us at the ground level of a Jesus movement. Come with us as we take the presence of God to the people on university campuses, into regions and to the nations. This is not simply a call to take classes. It is a call to be sent, to be discipled, and to grow in community–centered on the person and presence of Jesus himself.

ATDU combines sound biblical training with experiential Holy Spirit living in the context of vibrant community and now includes the ability to receive college credit through Faith University. ATDU exists to serve you as you are discovering your calling and assignment!

Take a season away from the noise and set your eyes on Jesus.

Get equipped. Host Jesus’ presence. Be launched into your calling.
