Awana is a weekly ministry which provides a fun environment for children and youth ages 3-18 to learn God’s Word. Our vision is for children to know, love, and serve Jesus Christ! Each week, Awana provides teaching and training to develop strong moral and spiritual values, helping “clubbers” learn about the reality of God and the truth of the Bible.

What do you do?
A night at Awana is broken into three segments: Handbook Time – Clubbers develop a sense of community during this time as they break out into small groups. Awana has take-home, age-specific, interactive handbooks that promote spending time every day in God’s Word, express healthy values, and encourage memorization of Scripture, all by using achievement-oriented learning segments. Game Time – Every Awana meeting includes active and friendly team competition! We have a variety of organized games that allow children to participate with their peers in teams and compete against other kids in their age group. Large Group Time – This is a time dedicated to Bible teaching in the age-based large groups that complements the lessons learned in Handbook Time.
