WHAT AWANA LOOKS LIKE
While Awana ministries are adaptable and flexible
to fit the size of your church’s volunteer force,
building and budget, most Awana ministries have
some things in common.
The program usually runs for one-and-a-half
to two hours and involves a rotation through
three segments:
LARGE GROUP TIME SMALL GROUP TIME GAME TIME
During Large Group Time, children
and students gather to sing worship
songs, receive the awards they’ve
earned and, most importantly,
learn relevant and applicable
truths from Scripture. This segment
of the Awana program offers an
opportunity to easily integrate
Awana with the lesson themes
taught in Sunday school each week.
Small Group Time allows kids to
break into age-specific groups
where they dive into biblical
truth with their leaders, discuss
the meaning and application
of Scripture, and share verses
they’ve memorized. Small Group
Time establishes a foundation for
studying the Bible and growing in
community with other Christians
that will last a lifetime.
It’s fun. It’s high-energy. It’s Game
Time! In fact, one of the things kids
will most remember about their
Awana days is the fun they had
playing games and engaging with
different activities. At Awana, we
realize not every church has a gym
or an Olympic-sized activity center.
The Awana staff will work with
your leaders to create games and
activities to fit your church’s vision —
and your building.
