This is best accomplished when a parent encourages, and actively participates with his/her child(ren) by helping them to study at home, and showing a love for God’s Word. This is a co-op ministry.  We request your involvement.  There are many ways to help out.  Just ask our Awana Commander or any Club Director for information. Training is provided! Child care is provided for leaders' children not old enough to be in the program. For more information contact us                Current Events CALENDAR
