Awana is an international,
Bible-centered youth ministry providing local churches with weekly
clubs and programs for pre-schoolers through high schoolers. Our goal
is to reach boys and girls, and their families, with the gospel of
Christ and train them to serve Him. The acronym Awana comes from the
first letters of the phrase “approved workmen are not ashamed”
(2 Timothy 2:15).

- Cubbies is the Awana Club for preschoolers
during the two years prior to regular kindergarten, usually three- and
four-year-olds. Cubbies is unique because it supports and maintains
parents as the primary source of spiritual nurturing by directly
involving them in the teaching and learning process. Cubbies uses the
fundamental Awana elements of games and activities, Bible memorization,
handbooks, and awards.

- Sparks is the Awana Club for kindergartners,
first-graders, and second-graders. Each club meeting has three parts.
In Game Time, Sparkies enjoy entertaining games played on the Awana
Game Circle. During Green Meadow Time, Sparkies gather for their
age-appropriate Bible lesson. During Sparkle Time, clubbers recite
Bible verses from memory, complete handbook sections, and earn awards.
Sparky, the friendly firefly, appears throughout the Bible-based
materials to encourage clubbers to complete their handbook achievements.

-
- We want our Awana clubbers to know the truth
of God's Word, and we want to train them to serve Him in their everyday
lives.
- The very first night clubbers attend
T&T, they receive the Start Zone, the starting point for all
T&T clubbers. Start Zone is a small booklet that explains what
it means to trust Christ as Savior.
- Once a clubber completes the Start Zone, he
or she will be eligible to purchase a handbook and uniform. Actually,
the T&T program has four handbooks called The Ultimate
Adventure Series. Clubbers progress through these levels at their own
pace.
-
- Let's take the first handbook as an example.
- In Book One we focus on four questions:
- Why did God give us the Bible?
- Who is God?
- Who is the Lord Jesus?
- How does God want me to live my life?
- Each of the four questions has eight
answers. Clubbers must give the answers to the questions (can be in
their own words) and recite backup verses from the Bible.Once they
complete the Start Zone, clubbers receive an award badge with places to
mark the completion of each handbook segment. In addition to the
regular sections, there are extra-credit sections (with special awards)
throughout the handbooks. After completing each book, clubbers receive
a book completion patch to wear on their uniforms.
- Finally, Awana has a series of major awards
to motivate kids to higher levels of Bible memorization and study.
Throughout the handbooks, the clubbers will read about a group of kids
who are always ready for adventure!

Arthur
enjoys science and checking out stuff on his dad's computer. He's also
the kid with the 313½ freckles. |
 |
Meet
Leah. Her claim to fame is saying the alphabet backwards in three
seconds flat. |
 |
Erik
is the little kid with the BIG words. He's not obnoxious about it, but
sometimes his brilliance DOES make the other kids roll their eyes. |
 |
Then
there's Carlos. His priorities are skateboarding and teasing the girls. |
 |
Christy
is totally into soccer. You can't find a soccer term she doesn't know. |
 |
And of course we can't forget Streamwood. |
