What is AWANA?

AWANA is a non-denominational ministry that is all about fun with a purpose — for kids to learn and know Christ! 

Based in the Chicago area, AWANA is the only international organization with fully integrated evangelism and discipleship programs for ages 2 to 18 that actively involve parents, church leaders and mentors. Each week, more than 1.5 million children and youth, 300,000 volunteers and 170-plus field staff take part in AWANA in over 25,000 churches in the U.S. and internationally.

Find out more at www.awana.org. AWANA serves kids in the following age ranges:

Cubbies (3yrs - 5yrs)

Games, puppets, crafts, and other activities transform our preschool program into a lively weekly experience where fun and learning go hand in hand.

Sparks (Kindergarten - 2nd grade)

Sparks club meetings combine learning with fun to create an atmosphere of irresistible  excitement. The aim of the curriculum is to take youngsters a step deeper into God's Word.

Truth & Training (3rd - 6th grade)

T&T reflects the passion of AWANA to teach boys and girls the truth of God's Word and how to follow Christ in their daily lives.
