Awana is a youth and children’s ministry committed to reaching boys and girls with the Gospel of Christ and training them to serve Him. Each week children across the globe attend Awana Clubs where they play games, memorize bible verses, and listen to bible stories. Awana is an excellent ministry both for introducing children to the gospel and a challenging program for committed Christian children to grow deeper in their faith through the study and memorization of the Bible.
Cubbies® nurtures the budding faith of preschoolers and celebrates their desire to explore all that God has created. This two year preschool ministry curriculum features exciting games, storytelling, puppet shows, and biblical teaching as well as take-home activities and tools.
Sparks® ignites a child’s curiosity about the people and events of the Bible, building a foundation of wisdom for knowing Christ. This three year early elementary school ministry curriculum features exciting games, engaging activities, biblical teaching and media resources for kids and leaders.

RegisterTrek® helps students to dive deep into the Scriptures and answer the tough questions about who they are and why they are here. This three year middle school curriculum features biblically rich content, engaging interactions and practical application for their lives.
RegisterT&T® explores the concept of grace by focusing on the character and nature of God, identity of Christ, as well as the structure and format of the Bible. This four year upper elementary school ministry curriculum is created to ensure that kids and leaders connect through God's Word.
RegisterAwana stands for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed (from II Timothy 2:15).
An Awana Club meeting has three parts:
Game Time – includes fun, crazy games in our Multipurpose Room. (Athletic shoes should be worn by all clubbers during Awana.)
Handbook Time – children complete sections of their Awana handbook and recite Bible verses, moving at his or her own pace through the sections.
Council Time – children participate in songs, Bible stories, and other activities that will aid in their spiritual growth.
Awana participants earn Awana Points each time they attend a meeting. For Sparks and T&T, points may be earned for wearing their uniform, arriving on time, bringing their Bible and handbook, completing handbook sections, attending Sunday School, and bringing new friends. Club members can use points to buy toys and other fun things at the “Awana Store.” The Cubbies and Trek programs have a slightly different format for points. Please contact the appropriate director for details.
Awana requires the purchase of a uniform and a registration fee for each child. The registration fee cover the cost of the Awana handbook and all supplies. We want everyone to be included. Confidential scholarship assistance is available if financial challenges make these costs difficult for your family. Our church gains no profit from any part of Awana – it is a ministry that we gladly support.
