Awana

What is Awana?

Awana is a Wednesday evening Bible-centered program based on scripture memory for children age 3 years through 6th grade that focuses on learning God’s Word and the Gospels in a fun atmosphere. Each week, Awana provides consistent, positive teaching and training that stresses strong moral and spiritual values. Our clubbers learn about the reality of God and the truth of the Bible.

Awana is a parent-driven ministry that shapes your child through the limitless power of God’s Word. Awana staff and trained leaders, together with parents, create a spiritually nurturing environment to help kids grow in their knowledge of Scripture and their walk of faith.

Awana is achievement-orientated and achievements are recognized and rewarded. Awards are given for handbook progress, Sunday School and Club Attendance, and participation in special events.

Awana meets Wednesday evenings from 6:30pm – 8:00pm, for kids 3 years - 6th Grade

An Awana Night

Awana meetings are time filled with energy, fellowship and spiritual growth. Each of our children’s clubs has its own unique meeting format, but in general Awana meetings are 90 minutes and

feature three main segments:

Game Time is comprised of exciting circle games that are a popular draw for children.

Council Time is a large-group setting consisting of praise and worship, Bible teaching, awards, announcements and presentation of the gospel.

Handbook Time provides small-group interaction, recitation of Scripture that kids learned during the week, friendship building and opportunities for leaders to mentor children and help them understand the Bible verses they memorize.

Children are grouped into the following clubs:

  Cubbies: For kids 3 (by Sept. 15th) thru Preschool

The Awana club for preschoolers is built on two premises: Young children can and should receive spiritual training, and home is the primary place for spiritual training. While at club meetings, Cubbies come for a time of fun, with a purpose...to reach and train kids for Jesus Christ. Bible-centered handbooks and club activities help your children begin a solid understanding of the basics of Christianity at an early age.


Sparks: For kids Kindergarten through 2nd grade

The Awana club for children in kindergarten through second grade builds on the material taught in our preschool club. The aim of the curriculum is to take youngsters a step deeper into God's Word while giving unsaved boys and girls regular opportunities to hear the gospel and come to faith in Jesus Christ. After being immersed in solid foundational teaching at the preschool level, boys and girls frequently come to an understanding of their need to trust Christ as their personal Savior while in Sparks.


ttlogo Truth and Training: For kids 3rd through 6th grade

The name Truth & Training reflects the passion of Awana to teach third - through sixth grade boys and girls the truth of God’s Word and to train them to follow Christ in their daily lives. Our goal is that many of today’s young people will become tomorrow’s church leaders. T&T is the program that trains the leaders of tomorrow — today.

A NOTE TO PARENTS......

Week by week, your children will grow spiritually as they learn Bible verses. Experience shows that encouragement from a parent will make a big difference in the spiritual growth of your children. Please set aside time each week to help your children study their workbooks. See our Awana Parent Guide for more information about each club and our Awana Guidelines.
