Why AWANA?
AWANA is a global children's ministry program rooted in the idea that children can have fun while learning God’s Word — that capturing a child’s sense of fun enhances his/her learning. We know that when children learn God’s truth at a young age, they are more likely to stay connected to a Church family and to their beliefs.
AWANA Clubs provide weekly programs and special events that introduce kids to Christ and build a biblical foundation for faith. Club materials instill a Bible-based worldview through kid-sized fun, positive relationships with qualified leaders and Scripture memory that lays the groundwork for long-term spiritual maturity. AWANA Clubs serve children from age 2 through fifth grade.
