WHY AWANA?

Kids hold a special place in Jesus’ heart. That’s why kids matter so deeply to AWANA and to Compass Bible Church. We are committed to clearly and consistently proclaiming the Gospel, and to building up “approved… …workmen… who correctly handle the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15).Our time with our kids is precious and so very short. Our responsibility as parents is high. God’s word clearly instructs parents to teach their children God’s word and his ways. Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it.” AWANA provides a valuable tool for parents to help them lay a solid biblical foundation in the lives of their children. AWANA is a systematic approach to studying God’s word for kids 4 years of age through 5th grade. Kids learn the Bible through dynamic teaching and memorization of Bible verses, with an emphasis on understanding and applying God’s word each week. With small group interaction, high-energy outdoor games, and deepening friendships, kids have a blast! The program uses positive incentives to promote and reward kids for participation as they develop healthy disciplines.There’s no greater privilege than participating in ministry and no greater joy than seeing your child grow in his or her understanding and application of God’s word. Parents are highly encouraged to participate in this valuable ministry. A variety of positions are available with varying levels of responsibility and time commitments.
