AWANA

AWANA

AWANA (Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed) helps churches and parents work together to develop spiritually strong children who faithfully follow Jesus Christ. Awana offers a proven approach for evangelizing and discipling kids in the church and community. From game time to small-group time, Awana uses many types of learning styles to teach children about God, His Word, and His plan for their lives.

Worship Arts Ministry (W.A.M.)

Worship Arts Ministry is a ministry designed to help children uncover their artistic and musical talents and put those talents to use for God’s glory. We will learn songs as a large group, and then break into tracks taught by qualified instructors. Tracks we have offered in the past include Art, Guitar, Pottery, Drums, Wacky Science and Culinary Art.

Children’s Worship:
Children’s Worship happens during both of the 10:30am Worship Services. Children are encouraged to participate in the musical worship in church with their parents.

We offer a Pre-K/Kindergarten Worship that meets in the Fellowship Hall.
