CHILDREN'S MINISTRY
About
Our church desires to build a strong doctrinal foundation that will be a catalyst for spiritual growth in the lives of our children and equip them with the tools they will need to thrive in their faith walk with Christ. ​​​​​​​
​
What is Awana?
​
The name Awana comes from the phrase "Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed" inspired by 2 Timothy 2:15. Awana is an international ministry that equips churches with Bible-centered curriculum and Scripture memory resources for children and youth.
​
We run Awana with an emphasis on a discipleship program that reflects the vision and direction of our church. Using Awana curriculum as our foundation, we seek to help children know God's Word, hide it in their hearts, and grow as faithful followers of Jesus through Bible teaching, Scripture memorization, and fun Bible-centered activities.
