Awana

What is AWANA?

Awana is a nondenominational youth and children's ministry commited to "reaching boys and girls with the gospel of Christ and training them to serve Him ." The heart beat of Awana is reaching children around the world with the good news that Jesus Christ loves them and can save them from sin.

Each week around the world, more than one million boys and girls in over 110 countries attend Awana clubs where they plan games, memorize Bible verses, and listen to Bible stories. Children and young people have fun while being taught the Word of God through Awana.

The weekly Awana clubs all function basically the same. Our 1 1/2-hour club meeting time includes three segments: Game Time, Handbook Time, and Council Time.

The Game Time provides the fun that draws and keeps children coming. The Handbook Time challenges children to learn and apply Scripture. Council Time allows children to learn about God's love for them and how He is at work in our world.

Awana at First Baptist Church

Our Awana club meets on Sunday afternoons from 5:30 to 7:00 during the school year. Children may register for Awana at any time on-line, through our church office or when attending Awana on a Sunday evening. Awana meets in the fall, takes a Christmas break, and resumes in the spring until school gets out.

The FBC Awana Club is for children 3-years old through 8th grade. This includes:

Cubbies - 3 & 4-year olds

Sparks - Kindergarten through 2nd grade

T&T (Truth & Training) - 3rd through 6th grades.

Trek - middle school grades

Awana meets in the FBC Recreation Outreach Center (ROC) located at 100 W. Brin Street.

There is a $20 registration fee for Cubbies and Sparks, and a $25 fee for T&T and Treck. We have a $50 maximum registration fee for any one family. The registration fee provides the child the appropriate Awana uniform vest or shirt (an Awana requirement), and their handbook. For children who already have their uniform, the registration fee is only $10 for the cost of their Awana book Scholarship assistance is available on a need basis. Contact an Awana Leader or the church office regarding assistance if needed.
