Awana blends Bible teaching, evangelism, Scripture

Awana is fun with a purpose – to reach and train kids for Jesus
Christ. Games, puppets, crafts, awards and other activities
transform our Cubbies program into a lively weekly experience
where fun and learning go hand in hand.
Sparks is for children in first and second
grades. It builds on the material taught in
our Cubbies club. The aim of the curriculum
is to take youngsters a step deeper into
God’s Word while giving unsaved boys and
girls regular opportunities to hear the
gospel and come to faith in Jesus Christ.
After being immersed in solid foundational
teaching at the preschool level, boys and
girls frequently come to an understanding
of their need to trust Christ as their
personal Savior while in Sparks.
