About our AWANA Clubs

Cubbies (Pre-K)

 Cubbies is our pre-school club that establishes a practical framework for biblical literacy. Like the older clubs, Cubbies focuses on God's Word by memorizing the key points of scripture. The Cubbies coursework initiates plentiful opporotunity for parents to minister to their children in a direct manner that gets reinforced on AWANA club night. The typical night consists of game time, large group message time (generally associated with a puppet show), one-on-one leader to child interactions to discuss that week's coursework, and arts and crafts. Cubbies sets the foundation of biblical concepts that are reinforced more precisely in older clubs. Clubbers earn achievement patches throughout the year to be proudly worn on their Cubbies vest

*All clubbers must be potty trained in order to participate in club 

Sparks (Kindergarten-2nd Grade)

 Sparks is our kindergarten through 2nd grade club. This club begins emphasizing verbatim scripture memorization by systematically introducing more complexity to its structure. The coursework uses menominic techniques to assist in the clubbers retention of information. The coursework requires parent to clubber interaction to complete the coursework that also sparks (pun intended) productive dialogue and interest to the clubber of biblical truths. Like Cubbies, Sparkies earn achievement pins and patches throughout the year to display on their Sparks vest. The typical club night consists of a period of game time at the AWANA game's circle, small group/indiviual study, and large group message time. 

Truth and Training (3rd Grade-6th Grade)

 Truth and Training, or T&T, is our largest and most vibrant club. This club contains multiple coursework pathways contingent upon prior AWANA completion and the clubbers current grade level. This club reinforces theological principles introduced in earlier clubs with a greater emphasis of verbatim memorization. This club also introduces individual activity assignments that the clubbers must complete throughout the week. Furthermore, large group message time becomes more intellectually intensive that initiates much discussion during club and at home. Unlike Cubbies and Sparks, T&T recognizes the clubbers year long achievements at the AWANA years conclusive awards ceremony.

Trek (7th-8th Grade)

 Trek is small, but deep. This club offers alternative influence and fellowship to young junior high clubbers at a very volatile period of their life. This club reinforces all structural and theological concepts instilled in younger clubs, but the coursework intensifies. The expecations are higher, the messages are deeper, and the dialogue is transformational. Trek introduces new opitonal assignments for clubbers to complete such as scripture review essays and extracurricular hermeunutic assignments. Trek is a heavily intensive course that requires diligence, consistency, and focus in order to complete the coursework on time. Despite its intensive coursework, Trekers thrive in its environment as they begin applying biblical principles to practical life situations.

Journey (High school)

 Journey matures our clubbers into scholarly, critical thinking. This club transcends beyond scripture memorization and applies challenging, in-depth, inductive Bible study paired with hermeunutic reviews of the assigned scripture for the week. Clubbers meet once a week on Sunday night to engage in food, fellowship, and the intensive study of God's Word. This club is for those motivated teenagers who share the same passion for Jesus in a cohesive study program.

What if I can't afford the club costs?

AWANA is a non-profit program, our intent is to teach children the Word of God in a fun, energetic, and productive environment.Therefore, we will not deny participation due to an inability to pay. As a program, we dedicate 25% of our yearly funds to support these circumstances. All you would need to do is fill out an AWANA scholarship form and turn it into the AWANA Secretary or upload it under "Upload Receipt/Scholarship form" if registering online. However, the scholarship is only granted once the clubber completes thier preliminary packet (required for all clubbers before progressing to the book). Also, the scholarship only covers required course material and not additional AWANA items. Lastly, the scholarship covers a one time purchase of material. If the clubber loses thier book, uniform, etc. then no replacement will be offered without payment.
