Awana is an acronym for Approved Workers Are Not Ashamed. This
comes from 2 Timothy 2:15-- "Study to shew thyself approved unto
God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the
word of truth."
(King James Version)

Awana will celebrated its 60th year last year!  It was founded in
Chicago at North Side Gospel Center by the senior pastor, Lance
Latham, and the youth director, Art Rorheim.  According to Awana’s
website, each week, more than a million children and youth, 250,000
volunteers and 300-plus field staff take part in Awana in over 18,000
churches in the U.S. and internationally.

We start on Wednesday evenings at 6:20pm. Our opening session and
mealtime runs from 6:20 to 7pm.  Our clubbers alternate between the
3 segments, then we have closing ceremony and end the night at 8:
15.  For more details about our schedule and calendar, as well our
volunteer staff, click on the links below.

We encourage parents to come inside and join your kids during an
Awana night instead of just picking up and dropping off.  If you are
unable to find a ride for your kids to or from Awana, please call the
church office. We have limited number of seats on our church vans.
Awana is our Wednesday evening children & youth program
from 3-year-olds up to 12th-graders.  Each night is broken
down into 3 major segments
:

  • Handbook Time — kids work individually in age-appropriate handbooks
    to study and memorize Scripture

  • Game Time—the part the kids look forward to most of all! Games teach
    the kids how to work together and be a part of a team

  • Large Group Time—an adult leads each age group in a message from
    God’s word
3 & 4 year olds
Kindergardners through 2nd Graders
3rd through 6th Graders
Junior High Club
