Meet The Pastor
Pastor Elliot Wickboldt
Elliot Wickboldt is the Pastor of Awaken Church and is responsible for teaching, developing leaders, and planning the future of Awaken Church.
After graduating from Bible college he worked for several churches, leading teams in evangelism & pastoral care, teaching bible college courses, and managing the business side of church. He is passionate about creating a church where everyone works together to create “the church they’ve always dreamed of”. He believes that people are tired of settling for “religion and routine” and want a church that makes them come alive.
An avid reader and recovering chocoholic, Elliot can easily find himself reading books about Jesus, business development and leadership during most of his free time. When he’s not reading, he is scouting out sushi restaurants for date nights with his wife, Leticia, watching reruns of 24, or walking his two dogs. Elliot & Leticia recently had their first child, Hannah Grace, this November!
Elliot says, “My favorite thing about McAllen is the people. People treat one another as more than just neighbors or co-workers – here, you’re part of the family.”
