Alex Prokopchik

Born and raised in Eastern Europe, Pastor Alex Prokopchik followed in his father’s footsteps, stepping into ministry in 1996 and becoming a pastor just two years later.

In 2006, Pastor Alex became the lead pastor of Awaken LA, where he continues to lead with passion for the lost and a heart to see lives transformed by Christ. He holds a master’s degree in Strategic Leadership from Life Pacific University, is a proud father of two, and is joyfully anticipating his first grandchild.
