Spring session begins Aug 21!

We Wanna AWANA!

Our AWANA program is beginning its fourth year, and it's better than ever!  Kids are learning scripture, and learning to serve God and others.  This year's focus on Missions gives them a chance to impact God's work around the world!

What do we do in AWANA?

Each AWANA Club meeting has a theme, and our activities focus on those themes.  Anything from building cardboard robots to camping out under the stars, AWANA is a great time for kids and grownups.

When do we AWANA?

AWANA meets Sunday evenings at 4:00 PM during the school year.  Parents are encouraged to drop off their kids, and attend one of our classes on parenting or other family skills.  Then come pick up your kids at 6:00 and join us for our evening worship service.   

What is AWANA?

For nearly 60 years, AWANA has been a leader in children’s ministry, helping churches and parents worldwide raise children and youth to know, love and serve Christ.

AWANA works with churches from nearly 100 different denominations. It began as a children’s program at the North Side Gospel Center in Chicago in 1941. Lance Latham, North Side’s senior pastor, collaborated with the church’s youth director, Art Rorheim, to develop weekly clubs that would appeal to churched and unchurched kids, lead them to trust Christ for salvation and grow them in enduring faith and service to God.

Other churches learned about the success of the program and inquired about its availability. In 1950, Latham and Rorheim founded AWANA as a parachurch organization. By 1960, 900 churches had started AWANA programs. By 1972, AWANA had begun its first international club. Today children and youth in more than 100 countries participate in AWANA programs, and millions of adults are alumni.

AWANA is an acronym for "Approved workmen are not ashamed," found in 2 Timothy 2:15 of the Bible.
