What is AWANA?
AWANA is an international, Bible-centered children's ministry providing local churches with weekly clubs, programs and training for students in preschool through high school. Our goal is to equip churches to reach kids , and their families, with the gospel of Christ and train them to serve Him.
The acronym AWANA comes from the letters of Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed as taken from 2 Timothy 2:15.
AWANA began in 1950 as a youth program at the North Side Gospel Center in Chicago, Illinois. Lance Latham, the church pastor, worked with Art Rorheim to develop a program that would appeal to young people, reach them with the gospel and train them in the Lord's work. Other churches heard about the success of the AWANA program and asked if they could use it. By 1960, AWANA had registered 900 churches to start AWANA.
Today, more than 12,000 U.S. churches run AWANA with programs in all 50 states. AWANA can be found in over 3,900 churches in 109 other countries and six continents.
AWANA at NPBC is for children ages 2 through the 6th grade. The clubs break down as follows:
Cubbies ages 3, 4 and 5.
Sparks Kindergarten through 2nd grade
Truth and Training "T & T" 3rd grade through 6th grade
