Ps Leanne Matthesius, along with her husband Jurgen are the pastors of Awaken Church, formerly known as C3 San Diego. They live an incredible life of following the voice of God, from moving to New Zealand as a newly married couple to pastor youth at South City Christian Life Centre, to then moving back to Australia and growing a youth ministry to over 750 young people and pioneering Phenomena youth conference that hosted over 3000 delegates a year. In 2005, Jurgen and Leanne as a mother of three young boys, packed up all their belongings and moved to San Diego, a city they had never been to, to start Awaken Church which continues to grow from strength to strength to now being a multi-campus and multi-generational church seeing lives changed and impacted every week.
