Children ages three through 8th grade have a blast while learning and growing.
Awana meetings overflow with life-enriching experiences for young people. They provide consistent, positive teaching each week that stresses strong moral and spiritual values. "Clubbers" learn about the reality of God, the truths of the Bible and respect for our nation’s freedoms. Awana plants seeds of wisdom while youth begin their journey of becoming responsible young adults. Awana provides the valuable influence of a wholesome peer group for kids. Our Awana staff are trained volunteers who are committed to the spiritual and social development of all clubbers.
Our Awana program has a variety of aspects: Memorization of God’s word, singing, Biblically based stories, a spirited game time and lots of FUN! We meet on Wednesday nights from 6:45–8:15 throughout the school year.
The club is divided into 4 age groups:
Cubbies (3 & 4 year olds)
Cubbies is for preschoolers two years prior to regular kindergarten. It includes a cute character named Cubbie Bear, a blue vest with accompanying awards for your Cubbie to wear and a zoo motif. The handbooks provide Bible memorization and activities specifically for preschoolers. They’re geared to assist and encourage parents to actively participate in their child’s spiritual development. Puppets, Bible stories, games, Bible verses, crafts, awards, and other activities transform our preschool program into a lively weekly experience where fun and learning go hand in hand.
Sparks (K–2nd grade)
Sparks is designed for kindergartners, 1st and 2nd graders. Sparks includes a fun firefly character named Sparky, a red vest with accompanying awards for “Sparkies” to wear, and a nature motif. The Sparks handbooks are Skipper, Hiker, and Climber. Sparky firefly encourages and motivates our children to achieve their weekly goals. Handbooks provide Bible memorization and Bible-centered activities.
T&T (3rd–5th grade)
Truth & Training is designed for 3rd through 5th graders. The T&T uniform is a green polo shirt with accompanying awards. Boys and girls will complete the Ultimate Adventure Series of handbooks which continues the Awana tradition of Biblical doctrine and day-to-day application. These handbooks are colorful and user friendly. They introduce a whole new set of fictional clubbers that take us to outer space, under the ocean, on an archeological trip to Israel and on outdoor adventures.
Trek (6th–8th grade)
Trek is designed for 6th–8th grader. This Awana youth program provides an effective transition from the younger Awana Clubs. While Trek retains some elements of the clubs, its materials, terminology, and methodology are specifically geared to junior high clubbers. Bible memorization and other Bible-based achievements encourage “Trekies” to grow spiritually.
