Awana Clubs International is an evangelical ministry that provides Bible-based evangelism and graded discipleship resources for children and teens ages 2–18. The name Awana is an acronym for “Approved Workers Are Not Ashamed.” Our Awana theme verse is “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15 ESV). The goal of Awana is to “reach kids, equip leaders, and change the world” by making one disciple at a time.
For over six decades, the Lord has used the ministry of Awana to reach kids, equip leaders, and change the world. The unchanging truth of the gospel drives the same vision we’ve held all these years to reach children in every corner of the globe as we walk boldly into the future and continue to be used by God to help change the world.

Awana Essentials
Ages:3-5 & Kinder-5th Grade
Every child deserves the opportunity to know, love, and follow Jesus in an environment where they can thrive. AWANA Essentials is our sensory-friendly ministry designed for children who benefit from a more adaptive learning environment.
Beginning September 10, children will enjoy a fun, engaging AWANA experience that moves at their own pace with adaptive lessons, sensory-friendly spaces, and caring volunteers who provide individualized support. Participants will still enjoy the excitement of AWANA by earning patches for their vests while growing in God’s Word in a way that meets their unique needs.
