AWANA club at trinity church

AWANA is our Tuesday night program for kids aged 3 years old to 5th grade. Through the AWANA curriculum, kids will memorize scripture, earn badges, and grow into a deeper relationship with Jesus as they go through their AWANA books. You can read all about their curriculum by CLICKING HERE!

AWANA stands for Approved Workman Are Not Ashamed and comes from the key verse 2 Timothy 2:15:
"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth."

Welcome to the 2025–2026 AWANA Season at Trinity!

I am so excited to kick off another year of AWANA at Trinity Church with so many wonderful clubbers and leaders! AWANA is a place where kids discover God’s love in a fun and engaging way while building lasting friendships and learning how to apply God’s Word to their lives.

This season runs from September 16, 2025 – March 3, 2026 and includes weekly club nights filled with Bible teaching, Scripture memory, games, and small group connections. Each week, kids will grow in their faith while enjoying high-energy activities that encourage teamwork, character building, and joy in the Lord.

We are looking forward to welcoming both new and returning clubbers—from our youngest Cubbies to our energetic Sparks and our growing T&T clubbers. Parents and families are a vital part of AWANA, and we are grateful to partner with you as together we help kids know, love, and serve Jesus Christ.
This year also brings back special events like holiday-themed activities, our exciting game nights, and the Prayer Pals initiative—where kids are paired with caring adults from our church family who will pray for and encourage them throughout the season.

We can’t wait to see how God works in the hearts of our clubbers, leaders, and families this year. Thank you for making AWANA a part of your child’s spiritual journey. It’s going to be a wonderful season!
