AWANA (Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed) is based on 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.” The goal of Awana is to reach boys and girls with the gospel of Christ and train them to serve Him. Awana Clubs provide a fun, engaging approach to learning and remembering God’s word through exciting Bible-centered games, crafts, and other activities.

Our clubs span the ages of kindergarten to sixth grade boys and girls.

The Sparks program is the Awana club for children who are in kindergarten through second grade and is firmly grounded in Scripture.

The three handbooks feature:

• Basic truths about God, Jesus Christ, salvation and the Bible.
• An increased emphasis on Scripture memory over the preschool materials. In three years, a child will learn and review over 96 verses, many of which cover salvation and key Christian doctrine.
• Clear and consistent presentation of the Gospel message. Sparks club meetings combine learning with fun to create an atmosphere of irresistible excitement for each kid who attends.

The name Truth and Training, reflects the passion of Awana to teach third through sixth grade boys and girls the truth of God’s Word and to train them to follow Christ in their daily lives.

T&T (Truth and Training) is equipped with a variety of dynamic tools to accomplish the goal of getting kids excited about God’s Word:

• Four handbooks of increasing difficulty which teach children that life’s ultimate adventure is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
• A cast of fun characters that boys and girls learn from and follow on interesting journeys in the handbooks.
• Weekly meetings that expose children to the Gospel message, Scripture memory, Bible study, awards, team-oriented games and gut busting fun.
• A Bible-centered curriculum that helps kids build a firm foundation for their faith, hide God’s Word in their hearts and apply the truth of Scripture to their daily lives.

Each night is broken into three areas of focus:

• Council Time! Bible teaching, worship, award presentations and the Gospel message.
• Handbook Time! Small group interaction and completion of Bible based lessons.
• Game Circle Time! Age appropriate games on the Awana game circle.
