|Sundays 3:30pm-5:00pm|
Some Questions Answered…
Q: What does Awana mean?
The name Awana is an acronym for “Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed”, taken from 2 Timothy 2:15 in the Bible.
Q: What is the purpose of Awana?
The official Awana motto is “To reach boys and girls with the gospel of Christ, and train them to serve Him”. We believe this is just as important now as it was years ago when Awana began. It is never outdated to teach children Scriptural truths and encourage them to understand and memorize the Word of God!
Q: What do kids do in AWANA?
Awana is broken up into 3 basic parts:
- Handbook Time
Clubbers progress through handbooks by memorizing Scripture and demonstrating understanding of Bible passages. It is important that clubbers remember to bring their books to each club meeting. Leaders work closely with the students to encourage each of them to finish their handbooks by the end of the year. Students receive special recognition and awards based on how they progress through their books throughout the year!
- Game Time
Kids participate in a variety of creative and engaging games encouraging teamwork. Games are appropriate for all ages and varying physical abilities. Adult team leaders encourage organization, enthusiasm, and good sportsmanship.
- Big Group Time
Staff and students sit together during this time for a themed group lesson and Bible study. Students are encouraged to participate and provide input during this time so they can engage more fully in the group lesson.
Q: How Long does AWANA run?
Our program starts the beginning of September and runs through the beginning of May with a three week break for Christmas.
Q: Are there Different Programs for different ages?
Puggles & Cubbies:
Pre school boys and girls 2, 3 & 4 years old. It’s never too early to introduce kids to Biblical truth and Scripture memorization. Puggles and Cubbies share the truth of the Bible with toddlers in an easy and interactive way!
Sparks:
Boys and Girls in kindergarten, first & second grade. Students at this age begin working through handbooks that develop their understanding of Scripture and memorization that builds over time, laying the foundation for a strong grasp of God’s Word.
Truth & Training:
The name Truth & Training reflects the passion of AWANA to teach 3rd-6th grade boys & 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. Their handbooks challenge students to interact with God’s Word, with emphasis on more in-depth Scripture memorization and application.
