*Journey Club meets on Sunday afternoons and students work as Leaders-in-Training (LITs) on Wednesday nights.

Children and adults are encouraged to join Awana anytime during the year.  In August, registration takes place at the table during weekend services.  Once the club year begins, you can sign up at the Welcome Counter on Wednesday nights.  Registration is always available online.



Puggles, for the toddler-aged children of our Awana leaders, uses a cute platypus and age-appropriate materials to bring Bible truths to life.
Cubbies supports and maintains parents as the primary source of spiritual nurturing by directly involving them in the teaching and learning process. Using a character named Cubbie Bear to encourage children as they achieve in their handbooks, Cubbies uses the fundamental Awana elements of games and activities, Bible memorization, handbooks, and awards. The handbooks provide Bible memorization curriculum and stimulating activities designed specifically for preschoolers. Clubbers display their awards on their blue vest uniform, which they wear to club each week.
Sparks club meetings consist of three parts: In Game Time, Sparkies enjoy entertaining games played on the Awana game circle. During Green Meadow Time, Sparkies gather for their age-appropriate Bible lesson. During Sparkle Time, clubbers recite Bible verses from memory, complete handbook sections and earn awards. Sparky, the friendly firefly, appears throughout the Bible-based materials to encourage clubbers to complete their handbook achievements. Sparkies receive participation and achievement awards which are displayed on their red uniform vests.
Truth & Training clubs feature increased focus on Scripture application in a structured program, fun characters, and more. The T&T program includes four handbooks called The Ultimate Adventure Series, and all clubbers, regardless of grade level, will begin with Book One. Clubbers are taught that the “ultimate adventure” is the Christian’s relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.  T&T clubbers will wear a green uniform T-shirt, on which is attached an achievement badge to hold their awards. We want our Awana clubbers to know the truth of God’s Word, and we want to train them to serve Him in their everyday lives.
Trek meets the needs of junior highers at three different levels: The “Come See” level targets unsaved youth; “Come Follow” helps young or nominal believers grow in their faith; and “Come Serve” trains committed teenagers for ministry service and a deeper walk with God. Trek meetings take a three-tiered approach by offering something for everyone: (1) a feature event uses games and activities to attract unsaved teens and then make them feel at home; (2) large group time communicates a single Bible truth relevant to the teenagers’ lives; and (3) teens are then organized into small groups according to their spiritual needs.
Journey curriculum is tailored for high school students at all spiritual levels. Our most committed Christian teenagers will be taken on an in-depth journey through God's Word through our study manuals. Journey curriculum has it all: relevant 21st-century content, a strong emphasis on life application, thorough apologetics and Awana’s trademark Scripture memory - invaluable ingredients for character-shaping discipleship. These materials are challenging yet meaningful to seekers, nominal believers and fervent followers of Christ.
