AWANA
AWANA, standing for “Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed”, is an international children’s ministry which emphasizes Scripture memorization.
This program has three primary portions of ministry:
Game Time: This portion recognizes that we are working with children - they like to play, and in fact, it is good for them to do so! What is distinct concerning this segment is that children are playing with adults: a time of modeling spiritual maturity in play.
Scripture Memory: This portion is guided by leaders who help assist parental work at home by helping children work on their verses.
Counsel Time: This portion includes teaching as the primary emphasis but also includes story reading and worship in song and prayer.
