AWANA Ministry

"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth."

Awana Clubs International, which derives it's name from 2 Timothy 2:15 was formed over 50 years ago in Chicago, Illinois. It is an international, Bible-centered youth ministry providing local churches with weekly clubs and programs for three-year-olds through high schoolers. The goal of the Awana ministry is to reach boys and girls, and their families, with the life changing message of Jesus Christ and equip them to serve Him.

Our club meets each Sunday evening from 5:00 to 7:00pm. In our club we assign the children to teams for the year. By using the team system, we encourage the children to work together, helping one another, thus reflecting the club motto, "My Friend For Christ". Throughout the year we have various competitions for the teams, each one based upon scripture memorization.
