2 Timothy 2:15                                                     

AWANA PURPOSE:
The Goal of AWANA is to reach boys and girls with the Gospel of Christ and train them to serve Him.  The purpose of AWANA is two-fold:  Evangelism and Training.

EVANGELISM
To draw boys and girls from the surrounding community into the club ministry where they may hear the gospel and accept Christ as Savior.

TRAINING
To prepare clubbers to help fulfill the Great Commission through the outreach to the lost, service to the local church, development of leadership qualities, personal spiritual growth, and knowledge about God and Bible.

THE AWANA EMPHASIS
Bible knowledge personally applied:
While AWANA has many activities to interest boys and girls, such as games and special activities, the heart of the program is Bible memory work. Believing that God means what He said when He promised to bless His Word, AWANA encourages the clubbers to hide His Word in their hearts. The clubber handbooks contain between 30 and 90 verses depending on the age group, with material becoming increasingly harder as they get older. But not to worry, clubbers will find that they become more comfortable with the memorization process as they move from club to club.
