Awana – Wednesdays 6:30-8pm Newborn-4th Grade

Awana is just about the coolest place you can be on a Wednesday!

Each week we memorize scripture, sing wild worship songs, hear a great message about Jesus, play games in the gym like Dodgeball, Clothes Pin Tag, and a ton of others. We also have a swim night at the Grand Traverse Resort, a Wii Night, AWANA Olympics, Gran Prix Races, and outrageous theme nights every Wednesday like Crazy Hat Night, Insane Worship Night, Jeopardy Night, and a bunch more!

Early Childhood: Ages birth-2

Children are uniquely created by God and greatly valued by Him. We welcome your children into our nurseries with open arms. Our Goal is to care for them in a safe and loving manner so they may know God loves them all the time.

KidZone Junior: Ages 3-5

Children need a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Our aim is to introduce and expand a child’s perception of who Jesus is. We use music, crafts, and Bible stories to show why we desire to serve and follow Him.

KidZone J.V.: Ages 6-8

J.V. is a time when the stories of scripture are pulled together. Kids are taught by many different teachers, but their goal is all the same: to help kids see Christ in the story of scripture from Genesis through Revelation.

KidZone Varsity: Ages 9-11

KidZone Varsity’s focus is to move beyond understanding, and into application. Once kids can understand scripture, they can take steps to apply it to their everyday lives at home, at school, and in the world.

KidZone University: Ages 12-13

These kids are taught more than just an understanding of the Bible. They are taught to see the application in scripture, and to use it to defend their faith! An “apologetic” approach to the Bible shows kids evangelism, service, and a deepening of their personal faith.

There is a place for everyone on Wednesday nights... Even your youngest children! Wednesday Night Kids Club is a place where your infant through two year old will be loved while you enjoy a class or Bible study

Puggles is a foundational curriculum for young children that communicates biblical truth in a fun and age-appropriate way. The teaching for the Awana Puggles program is built around four Big Truths found in Scripture: God Made Everything, God Is Great, God Loves Us, and We Give Thanks. Each week includes activities, songs, crafts, puppet shows, lesson time, and discipleship for parents to do at home.

Cubbies is built on two premises:

Young children can and should receive spiritual training, and Home is the primary place for spiritual training. Our 4 year olds program helps you train up your children and gives you tools for Home! Awana is fun with a purpose – to reach and teach kids for Jesus Christ. Games, puppets, crafts, awards, and more - Wednesdays are where fun and learning go hand in hand.

We love our sparks group! Kindergarten through 2nd graders will have the opportunity to be with qualified, trained teachers that both love the Word of God and your kids. Each week Sparks will have the opportunity to recite and memorize scripture, sing praises of worship, learn from the weekly Bible lesson, and play some wild games. Every moment of AWANA is fused with the same message: You matter to us and to God!

The name Truth & Training reflects the passion of AWANA to teach 3rd & 4th grade boys and girls the truth of God’s Word and to train them to follow Christ in their daily lives. Our goal is that today’s kids will become tomorrow’s church leaders. TNT uses scripture memory, exciting worship, and Bible-based teaching to equip the kids of today to be the leaders of the future.
