AWANA Club, our Sunday evening program for children ages three years through the sixth grade, stands for “Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed,” from II Timothy 2:15. Its purpose is two-fold: to draw boys and girls from the community into the club’s activities where they may hear the Gospel and receive Christ as their Savior and to help club members understand the Word of God through Scripture memory and by applying those truths to their daily lives.
The children are divided into three different clubs determined by their age.
Cubbies are three and four year olds. Sparks are kindergarten, first, and second graders. Truth and Training are third through sixth graders.
Club meets from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. each Sunday during the academic school year. The time is divided into three segments that include game time, council time, and handbook time. During game time the clubbers participate in age appropriate physical games. In handbook time the clubbers memorize Bible verses and learn how to apply them to their lives. Council time is led by an adult who shares a Bible story or life lesson expressing truths from the Bible to help in everyday life. Salvation through Christ Jesus is almost always shared.
