FAQs
What is Awana?#
For over decades, Awana has been a leader in children’s ministry, equipping churches and parents worldwide to raise children to know, love, and serve Jesus Christ. Awana is a program for preschoolers through 6th grades that incorporates Bible teaching and scripture memorization with tons of fun. Awana is committed to its goal of "reaching boys and girls with the gospel of Christ and training them to serve Him."
The AWANA acronym means “Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed” and is taken from 2 Timothy 2:15: "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
Our prayer is that all children throughout the whole world will come to know, love, and serve the Lord Jesus Christ. We are excited for your child to be involved!

What happens at an Awana Clubs meeting?#
We create a fun and exciting atmosphere to learn in by dividing our meetings into 4 main parts:
- Opening Time: We start each club meeting in several exciting ways– always including prayer. Some weeks we enjoy praise and worship led by the NextGen Youth Praise Team, some weeks we celebrate monthly birthdays, and some weeks we open with pledges to the American Flag and the Bible.
- Handbook Time: Our clubbers to progress in their handbooks and earn awards by memorizing God’s Word and by completing activities. We always celebrate our clubber’s accomplishments by announcing any awards that have been earned.
- Large Group Time: All clubs are presented with an age-appropriate Bible message.
- Game Time: A fast-paced, high-energy time of fun.
