Awana is an international organization with over 12,000 churches in the U.S. and nearly 13,000 clubs worldwide. Each week more than 1.5 million kids participate in Awana. You can visit their website at www.awana.org.
Awana is an acronym standing for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed, based on 2 Timothy 2:15
Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Calvary Bible Chapel hosts the exciting, Bible-based, weekly children’s program from September – May. We meet on Wednesday evenings from 6:45-8:15pm (check-in begins at 6:30pm). Check out our Events page for up to date information about Awana dates and themes.
We offer three Awana Clubs for children from 3-years old to 6th grade:
Awana Cubbies celebrates the spiritual potential of preschoolers by helping them develop respect for God, His Son, and His Word. Lessons (called Bear Hugs) include memory verses, Bible lessons, and activities that teach basic core truths about God, Jesus and salvation.
Sparks is the Awana program for children in kindergarten-2nd grade. This program ignites the curiosity of kids to learn about the people and events of the Bible, building a foundation of wisdom for knowing Christ. Each lesson includes stories, Bible memory verses, and discipleship activities.
Truth and Training is the Awana program for kids in 3rd-6th grade. T&T focuses on the basics of the Christian faith and guides kids to a deeper understanding of God’s grace. Each year of T&T contains lessons about God, the Bible, Jesus, Life Application, and corresponding memory verses.
The Calvary Bible Chapel Youth Group is for kids in 7th-12th grade. The Youth Group program meets the same time as the other Awana clubs for fellowship, games and lessons focused on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The 2023/24 Awana Clubs begins September 13. We meet Wednesday evenings from 6:45-8:15pm (check-in at 6:30pm). Generally, we meet during the school year from September – May. Check out the Events Calendar for upcoming Theme Nights HERE.
We ask parents to pay their child’s dues and costs for handbooks/uniforms at the beginning of the year. These are specific for children attending the Cubbies, Sparks, and T&T programs. No additional costs are necessary for the Youth Group program. We understand that this might not be possible for everyone. PLEASE CONTACT US to make arrangements if ANY of the costs would prohibit your child from attending.
Each family will need to fill out a registration card yearly. This allows us to keep an accurate record of who our active Clubbers are and to have current contact information. We occasionally provide snacks, so knowing any allergy/medical information is important so we are aware of any food allergies or medical conditions.
Uniforms are necessary for our Awana Clubbers. It gives them a way to receive and display their awards.
Handbooks include age-appropriate Bible lessons and Scripture memorization. As a parent, you should spend time with your children to help them understand and memorize Scripture. By completing 2-3 sections each week, clubbers should be able to complete their handbooks by the end of the year.
