What is Awana?

Awana is an international children’s ministry which aims to “reach kids, equip leaders, and change the world”. Awana uses the gospel to show children the love of Jesus Christ and to build disciples.

Our Clubs

VCEFC offers Awana during the school year (September to June) for children in Preschool (age 3) to Grade 6. Each club meets weekly on Saturday afternoons. Awana is open for children of both members and non-members of our church. We have 3 clubs for different age groups:

Sparks (Kindergarten to Grade 2)
Truth & Training (Grade 3 to Grade 6)

Our Program

Each Awana meeting includes several activities. Club specific activities include:

Singing
Story/Large Group Time
Handbook/Small Group Time
Games

During singing time, children are taught the meaning and purpose of worship through a variety of songs. Story/large group time provides an opportunity for clubbers to discover stories in the Bible and key ideas for Christian living. Specially designed Awana handbooks are used during small group time to help children grow in their faith and knowledge of God and the Bible. Scripture memorization is an important part of Awana club as it encourages clubbers to learn and apply God’s word in their daily lives. Games time allows children to build relationships with each other and their leaders through fun activities.

Our Team

We have over 15 trained leaders and secretaries on our team, all of whom are very dedicated to serving the children of Awana each week and fostering fellowship with each other. Our leaders are encouraged by the continual growth and curiosity of the clubbers as they walk with them in their faith journey. Please feel free to contact your child’s leader or the ministry director if you have any questions or concerns.
