Awana
"I have stored up Your word in my heart,
that I might not sin against You."
-Psalm 119:11
What is Awana?
Awana is an evening children's program, during the school year on Wednesdays from 6:30pm-8:15pm, designed to teach kids the Word of God. Over the course of the school year, kids aged 3 to 11 work through a workbook that has them memorize verses and other Bible-based challenges for prizes. The program also features high-energy games, crafts, and a lesson time.
The registration cost for Awana is only $30 per family, regardless of family size. Awana is divided into three age groups, all under the same Awana structure in an age-appropriate group.
Cubbies: Ages 3-4
Sparks: Ages 5-7
Truth & Training: Ages 8-11
Students must be the right age by September 1. Students who have a birthday during the year stay in the same club until the following September.
What to Expect
Biblical Large Group
Each night includes a large group time where kids hear the Bible taught at a level they can follow. Our leaders teach from Awana's national program material, so every lesson is age-appropriate, Scripture-centered, and built to help children understand who God is and what His Word says.
Age-Based Discipleship
After large group, students move into their own age-based club where they work through their handbooks with a trained, background-checked leader who prays for them throughout the year. They recite the Bible verses they have memorized that week and dig deeper into the same passage they just heard taught, at a depth that fits their age.
Maniacal Games
Awana is fun! Each night begins with an opening ceremony with singing and prayer, and all students have a time in the night where they break into teams and play maniacal indoor games!
Special Events
Spring Grand Prix
In one of the highlights of the year, students get a pinewood derby car that they can carve, design, and decorate and then race at the Grand Prix!
Don't have the tools or space for a woodworking project? No fear! Our church offers free family workdays where equipment and volunteers are available to help students and parents make their car raceday ready!
The Grand Prix day itself is open to the whole family, and offers free lunch and snacks, bouncy houses, toddler play areas, and all around family fun.
Awards Ceremony
Awana is full of fun challenges, as students work weekly through their workbooks to complete their objectives, earning jewels and badges along the way.
Each Awana year ends with an awards ceremony, where families and friends of the students are invited to look back on the Awana program that year, and to celebrate the accomplishments of the Awana students who will receive awards for their efforts. Followed by an ice cream social!
