"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15
WHAT IS AWANA?
The acronym AWANA comes from the first letters of the phrase “Approved workmen are not ashamed” (2 Timothy 2:15).
The AWANA ministry is:

· Committed to the evangelism and discipleship of children and youth
· Effective at getting the gospel into the homes of unsaved families

· Focused on missions
The AWANA ministry embraces five principals:
· AWANA is centered on the gospel
· Scripture memory is key element
· AWANA is exciting and fun
· Children are trained to serve
· AWANA is built on volunteer leadership
