Young people hold a special place in Jesus’ heart. He created them. He sacrificed His life for their sins. He longs for them to know, love and serve Him. He desires to spend eternity with them. His kingdom belongs to such as these.

That’s why kids matter so deeply to Awana. As a worldwide ministry, we believe that Jesus is the answer to every child’s needs, particularly for salvation. Awana programs and materials have been carefully crafted to help churches clearly and consistently communicate the good news of Christ and His plan for their lives, as expressed in His Word, each week of the Awana year, and to build a biblical foundation that helps them follow Christ through adulthood.
