Our Wednesday night program offers children the opportunity to join a million plus kids in a fun and Bible based
club called AWANA (Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed) which is an acronym for 2 Timothy 2:15. A typical
AWANA club revolves around games, activities, scripture memorization and Christ centered devotions to list a
few. Children, families and congregations across the world have found AWANA to be an exciting program that
is not only fun but important in developing a child's understanding of the Scriptures. Those who have utilized
AWANA have found the program to be invaluable in a child's faith development. Some of the benefits include
developing a strong understanding of God's love, forgiveness and plan of salvation through Christ alone.
In addition, AWANA participants are better equipped to distinguish between God's Truth and Satan's lies.
Our Sparks Club is designed for children in Kindergarten - 2nd grade. The aim of this club
is to take God's children a step deeper into God's Word. As boys and girls grow in
their understanding of the Word they will have a better understanding of the importance
of trusting Christ for their salvation. Spark's club meetings combine learning with fun to
create an atmosphere of irresistable excitment. Club meetings are divided into four
segments: Opening, Games, Small Group and Large Group.
The Sparks program revolves around a journey through the Bible with a freindly firefly named Sparky. This adorable
little bug will take children on a tour through three handbooks. Each handbook studies Bible biographies. AWANA
uses the word "biographies" instead of stories to emphasize the real people and real events of the Bible. The
themes of each of the handbooks is "Jesus in the Past," "Jesus in the Present," and "Jesus in the Future." Each
handbook emphises Scripture meormoy. If a child completes all three books they will have learned and reviewed 68 verse.
The name Truth & Training reflects a passion in Awana to teach 3rd through 5th
grade boys and girls the truth of God's Word and train them to follow Christ in
their daily lives. Our goal is that many of our young people will become
today's and tomorrow's church leaders.
The TNTers will journey through four hanbooks with three unique kids
Arthur, Leah and Erik. Each handbook in our Truth & Training clubs
investigates four questions. Eight answers from the Bible are provided
for each question. By the time a handbook is completed our kids will
learn all eight answers to each of the questions and verses to back up the answers. Each handbooks
include Bible studies and activities that allow children to delve into the subject matter. If a child were to
reveiw and complete all four books they will have learned approximately 310 verses. The TNT program
even offers interactive CDs that use high-tech games to teach and reinforce Biblical truths.
