What is AWANA?
The word AWANA stands for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed and is taken from 2 Timothy 2:15 - “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.”
Awana is a nondenominational ministry that helps churches worldwide raise children and youth to know, love, and serve Christ. Awana provides fully integrated programs for ages 2 to 18, evangelism tools to reach kids and families, biblical discipleship resources that involve parents and churches, healthy mentor and peer relationships and specialized volunteer training.
Awana is making an impact as a ministry leader for over 60 years. A recent national survey found Awana as important to their alumni's spiritual foundation as all other church activities combined. Among those who had participated in the program for at least six years, 92.7 percent still attend church at least weekly as adults!
Each week, more than 1.5 million kids ages 2 to 18 participate in Awana. Over 12,000 churches in the U.S. and nearly 13,000 internationally run Awana programs that change young lives through biblical truth.
