AWANA

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."

Doors open - 5:45pm.
