We Are Currently in a Great Awakening
We believe in the last Jubilee in 2017, that we have entered into a Great Awakening. The Great Awakenings in the United States were significant periods of religious revival that shaped American culture, spirituality, and social movements. Great Awakenings go beyond individual Revival. They also bring reformation in the Nations where they are received.
First Great Awakening (1730s–1740s)
The First Great Awakening, led by figures like Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield, was a response to declining religious fervor and rigid formalism in colonial churches. It emphasized personal repentance, faith-based salvation, and an emotional, individual connection with God. The movement boosted church membership, sparked the rise of new denominations, and challenged established religious authority. It also helped shape early American thought by promoting individual liberty and encouraging skepticism of traditional power structures, laying intellectual groundwork for the American Revolution.
Second Great Awakening (1790s–1830s)
The Second Great Awakening, led by figures like Charles Finney, Barton Stone, and Lyman Beecher, emerged as a reaction to rising rationalism and declining church attendance after the American Revolution. It emphasized free will, revival meetings, and social reform, including abolition [ end of slavery], temperance, and women’s rights. The movement spurred rapid growth in Baptist and Methodist churches, energized major reform movements, and democratized religion by empowering ordinary people and promoting grassroots activism.
Third Great Awakening (1850s–early 1900s)
The Third Great Awakening, marked by leaders like Dwight L. Moody, Billy Sunday, and Charles Finney (in his later years), emerged during a time of industrialization, urbanization, and social unrest. It combined evangelism with social action, addressing issues like poverty and alcohol abuse. The movement led to the rise of the Social Gospel, expanded global missionary work, and fueled the growth of Christian institutions such as the YMCA and Bible colleges.
Fourth Great Awakening (1960s–1970s)
The Fourth Great Awakening, shaped by leaders like Billy Graham and the Jesus People movement, arose in response to secularism, the sexual revolution, and cultural upheaval in post-WWII America. It emphasized personal conversion, biblical authority, and a return to conservative evangelical values. The movement spurred the growth of megachurches, the rise of Christian Influence in politics, and increased influence of charismatic and Pentecostal Christianity.
Each Great Awakening
reinvigorated American Christianity in response to societal change. They shared themes of renewal, individual commitment to faith, and a challenge to institutional authority—leaving lasting effects on American religion, society, and even politics.
