Lead Pastors

Hailing from Detroit, Michigan, Adam & Brooke Cooke have served the Treasure Valley for 11+ years as lead pastors of Awaken Church. With 22+ years of pastoral experience, they have cultivated a passion for raising up powerful people who are designed to create and shape culture. Their heart is for all people to know who they are and to live intentionally in order to change the world around them.

Adam believes that a healthy believer is the hope of the world. Because of this truth, he has purposed to invite others to live this life on purpose and being present in each moment. 

All of us are products of our environment—our hope here at Awaken is to create a space for God’s people to encounter His presence and find purpose. 

Adam has been married to his wife Brooke for more than 21yrs. They live in Treasure Valley with their four world-changers: Annabelle, Micah, Ainsley, and Hudson (“Joy Bomb”).

“Our desire is to awaken people to encounter a good Dad. He is our aim.”
