AWANA 2026-2027
Exciting. Purposeful. Life-Changing.
Our AWANA ministry exists to help children know, love, and serve Jesus by building their lives on the unchanging truth of God’s Word. In a world where right and wrong are increasingly blurred, we want children to confidently know what is true and learn to live it with courage, wisdom, and compassion.
As children grow in their knowledge of Scripture, you’ll begin to see the fruit in every area of life—in their character, their friendships, their choices at school, on the sports field, and at home. Our prayer is that they become young men and women who faithfully follow Christ and influence the world around them for His glory.
Our clubs are structured, engaging, encouraging, and rooted in Biblical truth. We intentionally maintain small group environments that allow children to ask questions, build meaningful relationships with caring leaders, and experience the love of Christ in a safe and welcoming community. Every club night points children to the greatest news of all—the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
AWANA stands for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed, taken from 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.”
What We Value
- God’s Word as the unchanging foundation for life.
- Partnering with parents as they discipline their children at home.
- Deep, Bible-centered teaching that helps children understand and apply Scripture.
- Scripture memory that hides God’s Word in children’s hearts.
- Developing Christlike character and biblical wisdom.
- Building lasting friendships with caring leaders and peers.
- Creating a fun, welcoming environment where children love coming each week.
- Equipping the next generation of leaders to boldly follow Jesus wherever He leads.
- Keeping Jesus Christ at the center of everything we do.
Is AWANA Right for Your Family?
At The Mission Church, we believe parents are the primary spiritual influence in a child’s life. Our goal is not to replace what happens at home, but to come alongside you, encourage you, and equip you as you make God’s Word a priority for your family.
AWANA is much more than a Wednesday afternoon program. Each club night is designed to strengthen your child’s faith through three engaging rotations: small group table time, rich, Bible-centered teaching, and high-energy games. Every part of the evening is intentional, creating opportunities for children to build friendships, develop godly character, and grow in their understanding of God’s Word.
But Wednesday is only one piece of the journey.
The greatest spiritual growth happens during the week as families open God’s Word together. When children consistently complete their handbook sections at home, memorize Scripture, and talk about what they’re learning with their parents, something incredible happens. They become more confident in God’s truth, more connected to their leaders and friends at church, and most importantly, they grow in a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.
As you consider your family’s schedule and commitments this year, we encourage you to ask an important question: What priorities will produce fruit that lasts? Sports seasons end. Trophies collect dust. School years pass. But investing in God’s Word plants eternal seeds that shape a child’s heart for a lifetime.
If your desire is to raise children who know, love, and follow Jesus, we’d be honored to partner with your family.
