What is AWANA Clubs?

As children enter into the pivotal elementary years, AWANA curriculum ensures that kids are not only knowledgeable of God's Word but are able to apply His truth to their lives and face anything as disciples of Christ.

Our Club night consists of the following activities by grade level:

Smallgroup Time: Bible memorization from the past week is recited to an Awana leader. Awards are earned as they progress through their age-appropriate handbook.
Game Time: Game time with their grade level
Large Group Time: Bible stories and biblical truths

Cubbies® is for Pre-K and helps develop respect for God, His Son, and His Word. Lessons (called Bear Hugs) include memory verses, Bible lessons, and activities that teach basic core truths about God, Jesus, and salvation. Multiple options allow leaders to choose what works best for their group. Creative learning activities encourage parent-child interaction at home. Cubbies will need to be age 4 by Sept 1 and potty trained to participate.

Sparks® is for Grades K-2, and ignites a child’s curiosity about the people and events of the Bible, building a foundation of wisdom for knowing Christ. This three year early elementary school ministry curriculum features exciting games, engaging activities, biblical teaching, and media resources for kids and leaders. Sparks is divided into three years, each with a unique rank: HangGlider®, WingRunner®, and SkyStormer™. Each year, kids in Sparks:
• Explore the biographies of people of the Bible from a new portion of Scripture
• Memorize Bible verses
• Complete handbook activities

T&T® is for Grades 3-5, and explores the concept of grace by focusing on the character and nature of God, identity of Christ, as well as the structure and format of the Bible. This four year upper elementary school ministry curriculum is created to ensure that kids and leaders connect through God's Word. The T&T (Truth & Training) curriculum teaches kids the truth of God's Word, trains them to follow Him and practice His grace. In this 4 year curriculum series, kids will explore the fundamental doctrines of Christianity including:
• The character and nature of God
• The structure and sequence of the Bible
• The redemption narrative
• Key practices for followers of Jesus

By encouraging kids to engage in highly biblical and highly relational discipleship, T&T helps students to grow and develop as lifelong followers of Jesus Christ.
