Awana is an international organization of clubs for boys and girls from 4 years of age through the 12th grade. The goal of Awana is to reach boys and girls for Christ and train them to serve Him. Since 1950, churches have been using Awana to reach out to the youth in their communities. The Awana program is distinctively Christian and Bible centered.
      An Awana meeting has three segments to provide start to finish learning (and maybe a bit of fun too!!!). Each has a purpose.

• Game Time: Every Awana Club meeting includes a high-energy Game Time featuring individual and team competition. Game Time unleashes kids' natural energy and enthusiasm. The Awana Game Circle has universal appeal. Everyone participates.

• Handbook Time: Using achievement-oriented curriculum materials, Awana emphasizes memorization and understanding of key Bible verses. With a trained leader alongside to encourage and guide, clubbers develop a Bible-based view of how to know and serve God. Clubbers are rewarded for their achievements as they progress though the handbooks.

• Council Time: The whole club gathers for a Bible message, singing, and announcements of upcoming events. One highlight of Council Time is the presentation of awards for individual handbook progress and team competition.
