Our goal at Awana is to provide a safe and loving environment where children and young people will come to know, love and serve our Lord Jesus Christ. We are thankful for God's blessing on this ministry. We are dependent on leaders who feel called to serve in this outreach.
2026-2027
The Awana Club will be meeting: September 2, 2026 - May 12, 2027 (Wednesdays, 6:30-8:00 PM). See our Club Nights and breaks in this document:
Welcome to Awana! This acronym is taken from 2 Timothy 2:15 which says, “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” The acronym then stands for: Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed.
Awana is a Christian club for boys and girls from age 2 through 18 years. The club is broken down into:
Puggles - 2 year-olds (MUST be 2 years old by September 1)
Cubbies - 3-5 year-olds, for Preschoolers before they start Kindergarten
Sparks - Kindergarten through Second Grade
Truth and Training - Third through Sixth Graders
Trek and Journey - Seventh Graders through Seniors in High School
Each evening the children are involved in three basic activities:
Bible Stories/Study or Stories of Great Christians along with worshipful music
Reciting Memory Verses they have been learning to earn awards
Game Time provides active participation by the children with lots of cheering and encouragement!
