Children Ministry
Through Bible teaching, activities and games, children develop good Christian characters. “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6)
Awana” is an acronym for "Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed" (ref. 2 Timothy 2:15).

AWANA Groups
Cubbies
Cubbies, the youngest group, is for children 3, 4 or 5 years old. They must have turned 3 before September 1 to attend and should not yet be in Kindergarden. At an early age, the young children can and should receive spiritual training. The preschool program meets the goal
Sparks
Sparks is for kindergarten through second grade. The curriculum takes kids a step deeper into God's Word after the foundational teaching at the Cubbies. It also gives unsaved boys and girls regular opportunities to hear the gospel and come to faith in Jesus Christ. The goal is to help boys and girl come to an understanding of their need to trust Christ as their personal Savior.
Truth and Training (T&T)
Truth and Training (T&T): Grades 3–6. 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.
AWANA Programs
Immersing Kids in God's Word
The program is firmly grounded in Scripture: Basic truths about God, Jesus Christ, salvation and the Bible Clear and consistent presentation of the gospel message. An increased emphasis on Scripture memory over our preschool materials
Fun Learning = Results
AWANA meetings combine learning with fun to create an atmosphere of irresistible excitement for churched and unchurched kids alike. Meetings are divided into three segments: Counsel time is the main teaching time in the form of lectures, skits, games or stories; Handbook time is the time the clubbers work on their handbooks and memorize Bible verses; Game time is when the kids play high-enery, age-appropriate games as a team.
