Overview of AWANA

Picture
e're glad that you want to know more about the AWANA program at Grace Community Church. We are sure that our AWANA Club will be a place of learning and excitement that will have a positive influence on your child.

Each Club within AWANA is designed for a   specific age group. Pre-schoolers attend Cubbies, kids in Kindergarten through 2nd grade attend Sparks, and 3rd-6th graders attend Truth and Training.

AWANA offers several opportunities for your child to grow spiritually through scripture memorization and basic understanding of biblical principals and doctrines.


A typical night is divided into three parts:
  • Handbook Time
  • Game Time
  • Council Time
Each AWANA Clubber has the opportunity to earn exciting awards. These awards can be worn on the uniform. Some awards are basic and are given for completion of particular tasks, while others are given for completing one or more years of handbook work. Each child works at their own pace and will be guided and helped by a caring leader.

AWANA also provides an opportunity for children to learn to compete as a team and not just as individuals. They will learn to win and lose with a proper attitude of fair play and sportsmanship.

The goal of AWANA is to reach boys and girls with the gospel of Jesus Christ and to train them to serve Him with all their lives.

CUBBIES

Picture
CUBBIES is the AWANA club for preschoolers is built on two premises:
  1. Young children can and should receive spiritual training.
  2. Home is the primary place for spiritual training.
Our preschool program meets these needs through ... FUN - and lots of it! Cubbies is fun with a purpose. Games, puppets, crafts, awards and other activities transform our preschool program into a lively weekly experience where fun and learning go hand in hand.

NING (T&T) reflects the passion of AWANA to teach 3rd- 6th grade boys and girls the truth of God’s Word and to train them to follow Christ in their daily lives. Our goal is that many of today’s young people will become tomorrow’s church leaders. 

T&T is equipped with a variety of dynamic tools to accomplish this mission:
  • Four handbooks of increasing difficulty which teach  children that life’s ultimate adventure is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ
  • A cast of fun characters that boys and girls learn from and follow on interesting journeys in the  handbooks
  • Weekly meetings that expose children to the gospel message, Scripture memory, Bible study, awards, team-oriented games and gut-busting fun
  • A Bible-centered curriculum that helps kids build a firm foundation for their faith, hide God’s Word in their heart and apply the truths of Scripture to their daily lives
  • Interactive CDs that use exciting high-tech games to teach and reinforce key biblical truths
T&T is the program that trains the leaders of tomorrow — today.
