AWANA is an exciting Children's Ministry program for 3 year-olds (by September 1st AND potty trained) through 6th graders. AWANA meets on Sunday evenings from 6:00 to 7:45 PM during the school calendar year.
The goal of AWANA is to teach boys and girls the Gospel of Christ and train them to serve Him. Children learn Bible verses and Bible truths as well as how to apply them to everyday life. Children also play exciting games and hear a Bible lesson each week. There is a mission focus and participation in several mission projects throughtout the year.
All children’s choirs seek first to develop children as worshipers and then to help them develop musical skills, techniques, learn how to read music, and gain knowledge about musical instruments and composers.
Music Explorers is designed for children who have reached their 3rd birthday by September 1st and meets on Wednesdays during the school year at 6:00 PM. Room ED 217/218

Our Preschool Mission Explorers for age 3 (by September), and Mission Friends for 4 and 5 year-olds meet in conjunction with Preschool Choirs on Wednesdays from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Preschoolers learn about missionaries and the people and places they minister to around the globe on a level they can understand.
During the summer, our Preschooler Kindergarteners participate in Summer Discipleship and Recreation. This program combines Bible verse memorization, weekly missions emphasis, and just plain fun each Wednesday evening from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
