Awana HOME
Awana is a ministry program
to meet the spiritual needs of children, teens, and adults.
Awana, which stands for Approved Workmen
Are Not Ashamed,
is taken from II Timothy 2:15, where the Apostle Paul says "Study to
show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth." This indeed is what the
Awana program is all about with its goals being to reach boys and girls
with the Gospel of Christ and train them to serve Him.
In order to minister more effectively to each boy or girl on his or her
own level, the Awana program is divided into six clubs and two youth
groups.
Cubbies
are boys and girls ages three and four
Sparks
are boys and girls in kindergarten, first grade, and second grade.
Pals
are boys in third and fourth grade.
Chums
are girls in third and fourth grade.
Pioneers
are boys in fifth and sixth grade.
Guards
are girls in fifth and sixth grade.
Jr.
Varsity is for youth in seventh and eighth grade.
Varsity
is for teenagers in grades 9-12.
Awana Clubs International must charter all churches using the Awana program.
Agape Fellowship Center was the 12,261st Awana Club to be chartered by Awana
Clubs International. Therefore, the charter number for Northside Baptist
Church's Awana Clubs is 12261.
The Awana Charter is an agreement between Awana Clubs International, a
non-denominational organization, and the Church that enables the church to use
the Awana ministry. The Charter indicates that the Church has authorized
the club and that the club has filed at Awana Headquarters the names and
addresses of its pastor(s), Commander, Directors, and leaders.
