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.
This is the general schedule for the CBC AWANA Clubs for 2024-2025.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why AWANA?
AWANA consists of a fun mixture of scripture memorization, council time/singing, and the ever popular game time. If your desire is to ground your child in a knowledge of the scriptures, check out AWANA.

Who Can Attend?
Youth throughout the community are welcome to attend.
When is it held?
AWANA is every Wednesday evening from 6:20 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. starting in September and going to the first week of May.

What is the cost?
Call the office for information on the cost of books and vests/shirts. If finances are a difficulty for you an alternative means of purchasing the uniform is available. Please let the office know.

We like to have some fun and so each Wednesday night has a theme. In the past we have had: duct tape night where your child brings their custom made duct tape attire or accessory; face paint night, where kids come with their faces painted!. Click here for the current year theme night schedule.

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.

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.

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:
