FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)?

Q: How will Awana help our church minister more effectively?

A: Awana is first a proven method to reach young people and their families for Christ. The weekly ministry gives children and youth an opportunity to hear a clear presentation of the gospel and learn from an exciting and challenging Bible-based curriculum. Unique games ensure that kids have lots of fun ― and keep coming back for more.

Having Awana in your church presents an opportunity to recruit and train laypeople to assume leadership roles within the weekly programs. Church members who become Awana leaders receive proven training and personal experience in evangelism and discipleship.

Awana also provides excellent visitation opportunities for your church. Long-term contact with kids is an effective channel to reach unsaved parents in the community.

Q: Is Awana local-church oriented?

A: Awana Clubs are completely administered and operated by your own church leadership. Awana Clubs International is a service organization which provides training for leaders, materials, club supplies, and any assistance requested by you through the local Awana missionaries.

Q: What kinds of churches have Awana Clubs?

A: The Awana program is not affiliated with any particular denomination or group. It is open to all Bible-believing churches that agree with the Awana Doctrinal Statement.

Q: How much does the Awana program cost?

A: The initial church registration fee is $95. This includes maintenance of a completely open-order account. You may fax, call, or mail in orders at any time and have them honored. From then on, an annual renewal fee is required. Awana also requires a church to purchase a Starter Kit for each club it will be initiating. Starter Kits average $20.

Q: How many leaders are needed for an effective Awana program?

A: As with any youth program, the lower the child-leader ratio, the better. There is a variety of ways to properly staff your Awana Clubs if leadership is limited. Your local Awana missionary can advise you on how to maximize the use of leaders. Awana also suggests that churches combine clubs if not enough leadership is available.

Q: What are the qualifications for Awana leadership?

A: Awana leaders should meet the same standards you set for Sunday School teachers. They should be born-again people with a strong desire to serve Christ.

Q: Are Awana leaders trained?

A: Local Awana missionaries are available to assist in leadership training at no cost to your church. Leadership Training Conferences also are offered in your area every fall. And, Awana publishes training manuals and videos that provide the expertise leaders need.

Q: What age span does Awana cover?

A: There are six separate club programs for 3-year-old preschoolers through sixth-graders in addition to Jr. Varsity for seventh- and eighth-graders and the high school Varsity program.

What we believe?

THE BIBLE
We believe that the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is supernaturally inspired, so that it is inerrant in the original manuscripts and preserved by God in its verbal and plenary inspiration, so that it is a divinely authoritative standard for every age and every life. (Matthew 5:18; 1 Corinthians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21)

GOD
We believe in one God that eternally exists and reveals Himself in three persons - Father, Son, Holy Spirit - having each the same nature, attributes and perfections, worthy of the same worship and confidence. (Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; John 1:1-2, 14, 10:30, 14:15-17; 1 Corinthians 8:6; 2 Corinthians 13:14)

We believe in God as absolute and sole Creator and Sustainer of the universe, and that creation was by divine command, from nothing and not through an evolutionary process. (John 1:3, 10; Acts 17:24-25; Genesis 1:1)

We believe that God, by His sovereign choice and out of love for men, sent Christ into the world to save sinners. (John 3:16; 1 Timothy 1:15; 1 John 4:14)

GOD THE SON
We believe that Jesus Christ was fully God in the flesh and fully man, that He was born of a virgin and that He lived a sinless life, in which He taught and performed mighty works and wonders and signs exactly as revealed in the four gospels. We believe that He was crucified, shed His blood, died to pay the penalty for our sins and was raised bodily from the dead on the third day. Forty days later He ascended to the Father's right hand where He is Head of the Church and intercedes for believers. From there He is coming again personally, bodily and visibly to this earth to set up His millennial kingdom. (Isaiah 7:14, 9:6; Hebrews 1:1-2, 7:25; Luke 1:30-35; Ephesians 4:8; John 1:1-5, 10-14, 14:3; Colossians 2:9; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Acts 1:3,11; Revelation 20:4)

GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the Holy Spirit is a person and is God, possessing all the divine attributes. He convicts of sin, regenerates, indwells, baptizes and seals all believers at the moment of their salvation, filling them in response to yieldedness with the goal of conforming them to the image of Christ. (John 3:5, 16:7-11; Acts 5:3-4; Ephesians 1:13, 4:30, 5:18; 1 Corinthians 6:19, 12:13)

MAN
We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam's sin the race fell, inherited a sinful nature and became alienated from God. We believe that all men are morally corrupt, and of themselves utterly unable to remedy their lost condition. (Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 1:18, 3:23, 5:12; Ephesians 2:1-3, 12)

SALVATION
We believe that salvation is a gift of God and is received by man through personal faith in Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for sin. We believe that man is justified by grace through faith apart from works and that all true believers, once saved, are kept secure in Christ forever. (Acts 13:38-39; Romans 4:5, 6:23, 8:1, 38-39; John 10:27-29; Ephesians 2:8-9)

THE CHURCH
We believe that the true Church is composed of all persons who are regenerated by the Holy Spirit through saving faith in Jesus Christ; that they are united together in the body of Christ of which He is Lord and Head; and are commissioned for the God-given tasks of worshiping, fellowshipping, teaching, evangelizing and exercising the spiritual gifts. (Acts 2:42,47; Romans 12:5; Ephesians 1:22-23, 5:23-24; 1 Corinthians 12:12-14; 2 Corinthians 11:2)

We believe that the establishment and continuance of the local church is clearly taught in the New Testament Scriptures. (Acts 14:27, 20:17, 28-32; 1 Timothy 3:1-13; Titus 1:5-11)

We believe that the local church is autonomous and free of any external authority or control. (Acts 13:1-4, 20:28; Romans 16:1, 4; 1 Corinthians 3:9, 16, 5:4-7, 13; 1 Peter 5:1-4)

THE ORDINANCES
We believe the ordinances for the believer are water baptism by immersion and the Lord's supper as a memorial. They are, however, not to be regarded as a means of salvation. But both of which are an evidence of obedience and fellowship with the Lord. (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:38, 41, 8:12, 35-38; Luke 22:19-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-29)

THE CHRISTIAN LIFE
We believe that a Christian should walk in holiness and not after the flesh, with the goal of being conformed to the image of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As a new creation, walking in the Spirit, the Christian learns to grow in faith, in obedience to Scripture, in prayer, in fellowship with the saints and in a life of service. We believe that the Christian will stand before the judgment seat of Christ to have his life evaluated according to his deeds. (Galatians 5:16-26; Hebrews 10:25; Ephesians 4:20-24; Hebrews 11:6, 12:1-2; John 17:17; Ephesians 6:18; Romans 8:29; 2 Corinthians 5:10; 1 Corinthians 3:10-15)

THE SECOND COMING
We believe in the personal, premillennial and imminent coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead, of the believer to everlasting glory and the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; Titus 2:11-13; John 14:1-6; Matthew 25:46; Revelation 20:11-15; 2 Peter 3:10)

Reach Out at Christmas
In the October issue, we asked you for Christmas outreach ideas. You sent us some great ones, and here they are!

? Each year we have a birthday party for Jesus. Our leaders bring 12 cakes, one decorated for each month of the year. Everyone sits at a table for the month of his or her birthday, and we sing Happy Birthday to Jesus. There's always plenty of cake, so we invite the parents to join us.
― Sandy Jerge, Alden Community Church, Alden, New York

? Our church participates in the Operation Christmas Child ministry. In Awana, we used the items purchased and donated in our store. The clubbers used their shares to buy items to put in the shoeboxes. It was amazing to see the generosity of the children. It took the focus off the clubbers and caused them to think of others less fortunate.
― Cheri Rummens, First Baptist Church, Mansfield, Missouri
