Awana is a world-wide nonprofit ministry focused on providing Bible-based evangelism and discipleship solutions for ages 2-18. As the global leader in child and youth discipleship, Awana gives children the opportunity to know, love and serve Jesus, no matter their background.

What is Awana?
For over six decades, the Lord has used the ministry of Awana to reach kids, equip leaders, and change the world. The unchanging truth of the gospel drives the same vision we’ve held all these years to reach children in every corner of the globe as we walk boldly into the future and continue to be used by God to help change the world.

What happens at an Awana club?

• Kids gather together for Bible teaching, worship, announcements, and awards. This is a great opportunity for kids to hear the gospel and Biblical truth directly from pastors, missionaries, and guest speakers.
• Relationships and belonging begin in small groups as kids huddle up with a consistent leader from week to week to discuss Bible lessons, ask and answer important questions, pray together and complete handbooks.
• A session of Awana Games, crafts, or other team-building activity help foster fun and encouraging relationships in the midst of the evening.

Awana Clubs is built on our 3B ministry philosophy of child discipleship: Belong, Believe, Become. Children build spiritual resilience when they feel they belong to Jesus, when they believe in the truth of the Bible and then become disciplemakers in their own right.
