That's the bottom line for most kids. Of course, they're learning and growing while they're having fun. AWANA Club meetings are brimming with life-enriching experiences for young people! Trained leaders guide children through age-appropiate material. Clubbers learn that God is real, that He loves them, and that He has expressed that love through Jesus Christ. They also learn how to apply the truths of the Bible to their daily lives. In a world desperate for high standards of morality and ethics, AWANA uses the Bible to teach children to honor God and their fellow human beings. The AWANA Clubs program is distinctively Christian and Bible-centered. Of course, AWANA Clubs do not exclude kids based on their religious affiliation. The club meetings are open to all.
Opening Ceremony: All clubs (Cubbies, Sparks, and Truth & Training) gather for the United States and AWANA flag pledge, opening prayer, award presentation, announcements and singing.
Council Time: Clubs are grouped as Cubbies, and Sparks & (Truth & Training) for a selected time of practical instruction in living by Biblical principles.
Handbook Time: Using achievement-oriented curriculum materials, AWANA emphasizes memorization and understanding of key Bible verses. With a trained leader alongside to encourage and guide, clubbers develop a Bible-based view of how to know and serve God. Clubbers are awarded for their achievements as they progress through their handbooks!
Special Activities: Throughout the year the leaders will pick special projects that AWANA members can participate and be able to work on together as a group and worship God together as a group. One example is the Pinewood Derby.
