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."

We meet on Tuesday nights from 6:00-7:30 in the Impact Center @ Trinity Church. Our ministry year begins in September and ends in March.

Doors open - 5:45pm.
Opening Ceremony begins - 6:00pm.
Closing Ceremony concludes - 7:30pm.

Looking for some autumn fun? Come on down to the Trinity Church Pumpkin Patch, open through the entire month of October! Located on the front lawn of Trinity Church, this festive spot is perfect for pumpkin picking, photo opportunities, and various exciting events.

All proceeds from the pumpkin patch will benefit the AWANA Club program, which supports children's and youth activities. The patch is run entirely by dedicated volunteers, and we are currently seeking more helping hands to make this event a success. Volunteering is a fantastic way to give back to the community and be part of a heartwarming cause.
