New Church Registration and Ministry Agreement
Children. They are His most precious creation. That’s why we started Awana Clubs International. Since 1950, Awana has been dedicated to reaching boys and girls with the gospel of Jesus Christ and training them for Christian service.
Awana is a Bible-based, Christ centered program committed to ministering to children and teens. Our weekly programs promote an atmosphere filled with fun and excitement. Awana forgoes a partnership between our Headquarters staff and local churches around the world. We provide the necessary materials and training: all that’s needed are churches ready to get involved.
God has done great things through the Awana ministry. Today, more than 9,000 churches from America to Asia and from Africa to Australia use Awana to reach their young for Christ. Thousands of young people are discipled in clubs and at our summer camps. Tens of thousands of lay leaders attend Leadership Training Conferences. And we annually share the gospel with over 1 million kids of all races and nationalities.
If you want to evangelize, challenge, and train children and teens according to God’s design – while equipping individuals in your church ministry and strengthening their faith – Awana wants to help. Join us as we impact the world in Jesus’ name, one child at a time.
Looking for a ministry that will evangelize the unchurched children in your neighborhoods? That will mold and shape the kids in your church through the limitless power of God’s Word? Awana can help. Clubs for children in preschool through sixth grade serve as a great supplement to your church’s Sunday School program. Kids are inspired to memorize scripture, read their Bibles, and come to church regularly. Awana teaching materials, supplies, and leadership training fully prepare even the novice volunteer to serve. We just need a place to call home.
Kids who want to grow deep roots in their relationship with God have come to the right place. Awana Clubs and youth programs are valuable tools for evangelism and Christian growth, but they are just part of the story. From camps to competitions, Awana can take children and teens on adventures that will influence them for the rest of their lives.
Awana Games has grown by leaps and bounds since its inception in 1955. Up to 200,000 youth participate in meets held each year throughout the world. The Olympics features clubs competing against one another in 10 unique Awana games. But fun and competition aren’t the only purpose here; the event was created as an outreach for presenting the gospel to parents of unchurched clubbers.
The Awana Bible Quiz Meet has been a regular mainstay of our ministry since the 1980s. Club teams from across North America test their Bible knowledge in this popular event.
The Awana Grand Prix is a fun event for clubbers and their parents. Children carve and paint their own cars out of pinewood in preparation for the big race down an Awana –designed track. Parents and family members are invited to this outreach opportunity at which the gospel is shared.
Looking for an exciting service opportunity for your congregation? Awana is a great ministry for church members to get their hands dirty serving God.
Awana presents churches an opportunity to recruit and train lay people to assume leadership roles within the club programs. Church members who become Awana leaders receive proven training and personal experience in evangelism and discipleship. Men and women who ordinary don’t serve anywhere within the church find a ministry home. Church members become mobilized and motivated for Christian service.
Adults aren’t the only people whom God calls to serve Him. Awana believes firmly in the need for churches to train their leadership at a young age. Our club and youth programs begin to equip youth for services shortly after a child or teen is saved. The Awana Leaders-in-Training program gives older teens the opportunity to develop ministry skills as they help lead younger clubs like Cubbies.
Teens can be challenged to consider full-time missionary or ministry service while receiving actual missions experience through the Awana Missionary-in-Training (MIT) program. MIT teams receive thorough missionary training before being sent to locations around the world to work short-term on the mission field. Many young people come back with heart’s filled committed to the Lord.
Members of your church can enable other churches to serve children through the Adopt-a-Club program. Churches, clubs, families, leaders, and individuals can provide financial and prayerful support for a church in another country that can’t afford to start an Awana Club. A club of about 15 children can be sponsored for just $15.00 a month through Adopt-a-Club. 100 percent of all money donated to Adopt-a-Club goes to support international missions. Adopt-a-Club is a neat way for children, teens, and adults to contribute to the Lord’s work.
