AWANA stands for "Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed", from 2 Tim 2:15. It is a nondenominational youth ministry whose goal is to reach boys and girls with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and train them to serve Him in accordance with 2 Tim 2:15.  The program can be found in 13,000 churches in 110 countries around the world. 

Contact the CBC office for questions about how the program works, or how you can help!

Initial sign up for AWANA commences in late August or early September (check the events tab).  Also, kids can jump in at any point during the school year.

Please know that your child’s safety is important to us! Every adult that serves in AWANA (ages eighteen and up) has undergone a background screening. In addition, we have a new check in and check out procedure to make it easier for parents/guardians of children pre-K through 6th grade:

  • Upon arrival, parents or guardians please bring your child(ren) to the designated check-in area inside the church. 

  • Using the iPad touch screen, enter the parent phone number (home or cell).  

  • The screen will display all adults and children associated with that number. The parent will then select the child attending AWANA.

  • The program will automatically print two identical stickers for each child (ages preschool–sixth grade).  The parent will put one sticker on the child’s back and keep the other to be presented upon picking up the child.

  • When picking up the child, the parent/guardian will give the sticker with the child’s name and security code to the class leader. The leader will compare the label to ensure the child is being released to the correct person. If you have a different person picking up, a photo of the check-in label will be accepted.

​​

IF YOU HAVE SOMEONE ELSE PICK UP YOUR CHILD, YOU CAN TAKE A PICTURE OF THE STICKER AND SEND IT TO THE PERSON WHO WILL BE PICKING UP YOUR CHILD.

​

Only the sanctuary doors will be open to enter and check-in.

Children 3rd through 6th grade will be picked up from the sanctuary.  Pre-K through 2nd grade will be picked up from their classrooms.

How Can I Help?

We encourage parents to get involved in helping at AWANA!  There are many opportunities available to match up to the gift you have, including listeners, secretaries, game leaders and club leaders and helpers.  Please prayerfully consider how you can help and then contact us for more information.  Training is provided.

Grand Prix

What is the "Grand Prix"?

Each year Sparks and T&T clubbers come together with their families and race their cars!  And it is more than just building a race car and watching it run down the track. It helps to build a bond between kids and their parents as they work together to design the best car ever.  (More information here!) And everyone who attends will hear the good news that God loves them and sent His Son to rescue them from sin. 

Clubs

Cubbies

Pre-School Ages 4-5-6

Cubbies® celebrates the spiritual potential of preschoolers by helping them develop respect for God, His Son and His Word.

​

Cubbies is divided into two groups, Young Cubbies (4 and young 5 year olds), and Cubbies (Older 5 year-olds and 6 year olds not going to K)

​

Sparks

Sparks K-2

Sparks® ignites the curiosity of early elementary-age kids to learn about the people and events of the Bible, building a foundation of wisdom for knowing Christ.

 

Sparks is divided into three years (K, 1st and 2nd grades), each with a unique rank: HangGlider®, WingRunner® and SkyStormer™.

T&T

Truth & Training Grades 3-6

The T&T (Truth & Training) curriculum teaches kids the truth of God's Word, trains them to follow Him and practice His grace. In this 4 year curriculum series (3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grades), kids will explore the fundamental doctrines of Christianity:  

 

  • The character and nature of God

  • The structure & sequence of the Bible

  • The redemption narrative

  • Key practices for followers of Jesus​

Trek

Trek Grades 6-8

Trek challenges students to wrestle with the three most important questions they’re asking in middle school:

 

Who am I?

Why am I here?

Who’s with me?

​

By allowing students to dive deep into the Scriptures and answer these questions for themselves we allow them to own their faith and discover what they actually believe.

Journey

Journey Grades 9-12

Journey® establishes high school students as lifelong disciples through a deep study of God's Word, mobilizing them to live with godly perspective and evident faith.
