AWANA EXISTS TO REACH BOYS AND GIRLS WITH THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST AND TRAIN THEM TO SERVE HIM.
"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth." (2 Timothy 2:15)
Awana meets 6:30-8:00 p.m. Wednesdays (September-April), and is embraced by those in and outside our church family. The program is for kids, age 3 (by the first night) through 5th grade. Each night is filled with Bible teaching, games and praise music! We have theme nights each week and offer fun events regularly for the whole family.
Awana is a parent-involved program where parents commit to helping their children memorize Scripture verses throughout the week and then our leaders review and verify the verses with children each Wednesday.
