Awana Overview

Children attending our 90-minute weekly meetings have the opportunity to participate in a large group Bible lesson, age-appropriate games, Scripture memorization, music, and singing.  The children can earn awards and badges that are displayed on their uniforms.  Awana clubs are rooted in the idea that children can have fun while learning God’s Word.

What Awana Teaches

Awana teaches children that God is real, that He loves them, and that He has expressed that love through His Son, Jesus Christ.  Kids also learn how God can help them in their daily lives.  Bible-based lessons teach them how to obey God in a complex world.  The goal of Awana is to give boys and girls the chance to know, love and serve God.
