AWANA is a nondenominational ministry that assists churches in reaching children and teenagers with the gospel of Jesus Christ and training them to serve Him. This is a ministry which is active in more than 12,000 churches in over 110 countries. The message is simple: AWANA is here to serve you with a ministry that is all about fun with a purpose — to win and grow your kids for Christ!
Cubbies is the Awana Club for preschoolers during the two years prior to regular kindergarten, usually three- and four-year-olds. Cubbies is unique because it supports and maintains parents as the primary source of spiritual nurturing by directly involving them in the teaching and learning process. Cubbies uses the fundamental Awana elements of games and activities, Bible memorization, handbooks, and awards. Non-competitive games, activities and developmentally appropriate lessons combine basic Bible truth with popular preschool concepts of colors, shapes, number, and letters.
Sparks is the Awana Club for kindergartners, first-graders, and second-graders. Each club meeting has three parts. In Game Time, Sparkies enjoy entertaining games played on the Awana Game Circle. During Green Meadow Time, Sparkies gather for their age-appropriate Bible lesson. During Sparkle Time, clubbers recite Bible verses from memory, complete handbook sections, and earn awards. Sparky, the friendly firefly, appears throughout the Bible-based materials to encourage clubbers to complete their handbook achievements.
TNT is the AWANA club for children in grades 3 through 6. TNT stands for Truth in Training. Like Sparks, each meeting has 3 parts. In game time, TNTers enjoy games that are played on the AWANA cirlce. These games teach them to work together as a team and how to be good sports. During council time, different leaders in AWANA and in the church take turns teaching the kids different truths each week.
Trek is for students in grades 6 through 8. Trek is a journey the students go on while going through their handbooks. This trek is meant to get the kids deeper into the bible while having fun at the same time.
