Young people hold a special place in Jesus’ heart.  He created them.  He sacrificed His life for their sins.  He longs for them to know, love and serve Him.  He desires to spend eternity with them.  His kingdom belongs to such as these.

That’s why kids matter so deeply to Awana.  As a worldwide ministry, we believe that Jesus is the answer to every child’s needs, particularly for salvation.  Awana programs and materials have been carefully crafted to help churches clearly and consistently communicate the good news of Christ and His plan for their lives, as expressed in His Word, and to build a biblical foundation that helps them follow Christ through adulthood.

The purpose of Awana is to help parents raise kids to know, love and serve Christ for life.  There are integrated programs for children ages 2 to 8th grade:

 

• Commitment to reaching unsaved youth and families with the gospel
• A fun, dynamic approach to learning God’s Word
• Bible teaching to build a biblical worldview
• Support for parents as kids' primary spiritual trainers
• Mentor and peer relationships
• Training future church leaders to serve today

 

AWANA meetings consist of Bible lessons, Scripture memorization, game time, & arts/crafts.  Other activities include organized competitions with other AWANA area clubs in Games and Bible Drill. 

A Grand Prix Race is also held in the spring.  Store Night is held twice a year for children to spend "AWANA Bucks" that they've earned through Scripture memorization and club participation.  Other fun "extra-credit" evenings are scheduled such as Clown-Around Night, Silly Socks Night, Pizza parties, etc.

"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
