Awana

What is Awana?

Awana is a midweek discipleship club where children have the opportunity to memorize, study, and learn life lessons from important passages of the Bible, to help them grow spiritually and have a blast playing exciting games and activities.

Awana Clubs is built on a 3B ministry philosophy of child discipleship: Belong, Believe, Become. Children build spiritual resilience when they feel they belong to Jesus, when they believe in the truth of the Bible and then become disciplemakers in their own right.

What Does Awana look like at First Free?

  • Each night, we start with a dinner. This is an opportunity for kids and parents to spend time in fellowship with one another before the night starts. We serve all the kids’ favorites like tacos, spaghetti and pizza! Participation in the dinner is by no means required, but we encourage you and your family to come!

  • Kids gather together for Bible teaching, worship, announcements, and awards. This is a great opportunity for kids to hear the gospel and Biblical truth directly from the teaching team.

  • Relationships and belonging begin in small groups as kids huddle up with a consistent leader from week to week to discuss Bible lessons, ask and answer important questions, pray together and complete handbooks.

  • A session of Awana Games, crafts, or other team-building activity help foster fun and encouraging relationships in the midst of the evening.

Awana Clubs comes with specialized curriculum and activities for kids at every age.

  • Puggles teaches children four Big Truths from the Bible — God made everything, God is great, God loves us, and we give thanks.

  • Celebrate the spiritual potential of preschoolers by helping them learn core truths about God, Jesus and salvation.

  • Discover how Sparks ignites children’s curiosity and builds a foundation for knowing Jesus Christ.

  • Discover how T&T can encourage kids to explore the meaning of God’s grace and how it affects our relationship with Him and others.
