Join us for AWANA!

Every Wednedsay evening from 6:30 – 8:00 pm.
Runs through the school year (September – April).

AWANA is a children’s discipleship ministry of Crusade Baptist Church. The acrostic “AWANA” stands for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed, taken from 2 Timothy 2:15:

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

AWANA, which stands for “Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed,” is a vibrant and purpose-driven organization dedicated to glorifying the Lord Jesus Christ while actively aiding local churches in their mission to connect with children, youth, and their families through the transformative power of the gospel. At the heart of AWANA’s mission lies a profound commitment to nurturing the spiritual growth of young minds and hearts. This is achieved by placing a central focus on the invaluable practice of memorizing God’s Word, recognizing it as a foundational pillar for a child’s blossoming relationship with God.

The core essence of AWANA’s approach is built upon a framework of discipleship, wherein dedicated adult leaders, passionate about their faith in Jesus Christ, guide and mentor the next generation. These leaders facilitate an environment brimming with excitement and engagement. Through interactive Bible lessons that bring the scriptures to life, lively and enjoyable games that infuse learning with fun, and fostering a sense of camaraderie and encouragement among peers, AWANA creates an enriching experience that empowers young individuals to not only know about God but to know God personally, fostering a lifelong journey of faith and spiritual development.

Children, ages 3 through 6th grade are invited to participate. AWANA club begins at 6:30 PM and ends at 8:00 PM on Wednesday nights starting on September 9th and running throughout the school year. 

Crusade Baptist Church is dedicated to the spiritual and physical well-being of everyone involved in our ministries. Click here for more information on our response to Covid 19, 

Cubbies celebrates the spiritual potential of preschoolers (3- to 5-year-olds) by helping them develop respect for God, His Son and His Word. Preschoolers can hardly wait for their next Cubbies club meeting. Whether it’s the fun puppets, the exciting games or all their Cubbies friends, they simply love it. At Story Time each week, preschoolers learn about God – the greatness of His love and His Word – and about His Son, Jesus Christ, the promised Savior. Noncompetitive games build excitement and reinforce Story Time lesson themes.

Cubbies helps you lead your child to God early so your child will respect and trust Him for life.
