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Q: Is Awana outdated? What’s the point?

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  It is never outdated to teach children Scriptural truths and encourage them to understand and memorize the Word of God!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:

• 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.
• Handbook Time
  Clubbers progress through handbooks by memorizing 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.
• 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.  Every Sunday we have theme nights and recognize winning teams and individuals who have completed handbook sections with awards.

Q: How Long does AWANA run?

Our program starts the beginning of September and ends in May.

Q: Are there Different Programs for different ages?

Puggles & Cubbies:
Pre–school ages 2-4.  We are pleased to offer Puggles in combination with Cubbies this year!   These classes will be in a combined classroom with different teachers leading the groups as appropriate.  They will enjoy song time and age appropriate lessons about Scripture and verse memory!

Sparks:
Boys and Girls in kindergarten through 2nd grade.  The students will be working together through a sparks handbook as a group and then individually working on Scripture memory at their own pace.

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.  The students work through more challenging handbooks that encourage personal reflection and growth in the truth of Jesus.
