Who We Are, What We Do

AWANA is a nondenominational ministry that assists churches in reaching children and teenagers with the gospel of Jesus Christ and training them to serve Him. AWANA Clubs International supplies programs, materials and training for more than 12,000 churches in over 110 countries. Their message to churches is simple: We're here to serve you with a ministry that is all about fun with a purpose — to win and grow kids for Christ!

Reaching our young people is very important. Did you know that 85% of all people who do not accept Jesus Christ by age 18 never will?

That’s why AWANA offers a series of clubs and programs geared to the needs of a particular age or grade. As a vital part of our local church ministry, AWANA clubs and programs effectively reach young people with the good news of Jesus Christ.

At Parker Bible Church, our AWANA ministry works with other ministries to give our children and youth a well-balanced emphasis on knowing Jesus and how we can live for Him and serve Him.

This brochure is designed to give you a general overview of the AWANA ministry at Parker Bible and the various opportunities to serve.

Thank you for your interest in the AWANA ministry.

AWANA Cubbies

The AWANA club for preschoolers 3 & 4 years old is built on two premises:

-Young children can and should receive spiritual training.
-Home is the primary place for spiritual training.
 

AWANA Sparks

The AWANA club for children in K-2nd grade builds on the material taught in our preschool club. The aim of the curriculum is to take youngsters a step deeper into God’s Word while giving unsaved boys and girls regular opportunities to hear the gospel and come to faith in Jesus Christ. After being immersed in solid foundational teaching at the preschool level, boys and girls frequently come to an understanding of their need to trust Christ as their personal Savior while in Sparks.
 

The name Truth & Training reflects the passion of AWANA to teach 3rd-6th 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 many of today’s young people will become tomorrow’s church leaders. T&T is the program that trains the leaders of tomorrow — today.
