Awana - A Parent Participation Ministry

A note From Dean Bouzeos to parents: "I invite you to demonstrate courageous leadership and actively participate in the Awana program this year. Awana is one of the best ways parents can fulfill the biblical command to 'Bring them (your children) up in the training and instruction of the Lord' (Ephesians 6:4)"

Awana, at any age level, provides families the perfect opportunity to hear, learn and study God's Word together while developing spiritual disciplines that could last a lifetime. Experiencing Christ and spiritual growth become a "Do as I do" instead of a "Do as I say" encounter for kids.

This Tuesday Night Club places an emphasis on outreach, prayer, evangelism, scripture memorization, small group relationships and fun. It is our confidence that as families learn more about the depth of God's love for them, they will respond by living a life that is holy and pleasing to God (Romans 12:1) and will boldly impact their world and beyond. (Matthew 28:19-20)

John 1:12

Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.

Romans 12:1

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-this is your spiritual act of worship.

Matthew 28:19-20

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
