AWANA provides local churches with weekly clubs and programs for preschool through 12th grade.\u00a0 Our goal is to reach children and their families, with the gospel of Christ and train them to serve Him.<\/p>\n

The acronym AWANA comes from the first letters of Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed, taken from 2 Timothy 2:15 –\u00a0“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.”<\/em><\/p>\n

AWANA meets every Sunday night during the school year from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM.\u00a0 AWANA balances games with scripture memory and scripture related activities to provide an entertaining, yet instructive 90 minutes for children.<\/p>\n

Here are the specific clubs we have available for your family:<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\"Puggles\"\n\t
