What’s AWANA?
AWANA exists to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with kids. It is a safe place where kids can learn about God, have fun, fellowship with friends and be the person God created them to be.
AWANA stands for “Approved Workmen are NOT Ashamed” which is derived from 2 Timothy 2:15. And it is our goal to build the children up to have confidence in who they are in Christ (and have some fun along the way).
Each week our night is broken down in three parts:
Game Time – where kids get to go crazy and play fun games
Large Group Time – where kids come together to receive biblical teaching in an engaging way
Small Group Time – where kids get to connect with friends their age and dig into God’s Word together.
With each night our hope is that each child has a lot of laughs, a lot of fun and most importantly, walks away with a deeper understanding of God’s love for them.
What to Expect
Our AWANA program is broken down into 3 different age groups which allows us to meet the children where they are mentally and spiritually
For Preschool Children (ages 3-5)
Cubbies® celebrates the spiritual potential of preschoolers by helping them develop respect for God, His Son and His Word.
Preschoolers love Cubbies! Whether it’s the fun puppets, the exciting games or all their friends, they simply can hardly wait for their next Cubbies meeting. At Story Time each week, preschoolers learn so much about God! Lessons focus on the greatness of God's love, His Word, and His Son, Jesus Christ, the promised Savior. Non-competitive games build excitement and reinforce Story Time lesson themes.
For Kindergarten through 2nd Grade
Sparks® ignites the curiosity of early elementary-age kids to learn about the people and events of the Bible, building a foundation of wisdom for knowing Christ.
To many children in kindergarten to second grade, Sparks is the highlight of the week! They love their red vests, the exciting games and spending time with leaders and friends.
Sparks is divided into three years, each with a unique rank: HangGlider®, WingRunner® and SkyStormer™. Each year, kids in Sparks:
• Explore the biographies of people of the Bible from a new portion of Scripture
• Memorize Bible verses
• Complete handbook activities
The T&T (Truth & Training) curriculum teaches kids the truth of God's Word, trains them to follow Him and practice His grace. In this 4 year curriculum series, kids will explore the fundamental doctrines of Christianity including:
• The character and nature of God
• The structure and sequence of the Bible
• The redemption narrative
• Key practices for followers of Jesus
By encouraging kids to engage in highly biblical and highly relational discipleship, T&T helps students to grow and develop as lifelong followers of Jesus Christ
