Awana Connects

Join us for a time of vision, inspiration, equipping, and networking at Awana Connect!  This event is for all leaders in your ministry to look to the future, pray, and plan for your new Awana club year or brite* ministry together.  You will have the opportunity to exchange ideas with other church leaders, share how God is working in your ministry, and be energized to make resilient child disciples.

Equipping sessions include: 

Seizing the Greatest Resource of your Awana Ministry: Parents
This session on partnering with parents helps child disciple makers build strong connections with families and equip them as disciple makers. Learn five practical steps to engage parents, support them, and deepen their impact at home and in your ministry.

Habits That Shape the Heart
This practical session will help you build intentional habits that deepen your presence and influence in children’s lives. Learn how daily rhythms—like screen time, routines, and how we start our day and prepare for Awana Club or brite*—can shape the faith and formation of the kids who God brings to you each week.

What’s New?
Learn what’s new from Awana this year, including the Journey Identity Bible Study and redesigned Citation Award, Awana Basics Live, 12-Week Game Time Challenge Booklet, Formational Home Event Kit, and more!

Join a community of disciple makers who share your desire to reach the next generation for Jesus.  You will be equipped to help kids know, love, and serve Jesus. Oh yes, we will have fantastic giveaways!

Teaching Missions To Young People
Teaching Missions To Young People

Our world needs the hope that only Christ gives. God is using Awana to raise up kids, parents and leaders devoted to knowing Scripture, loving Him and reaching others with the gospel.  This page will give you creative ideas for getting kids involved in missions.

Grand Prix Racing

A Grand Prix race is a proven way to accomplish several goals in the local church:

  • It brings family members into a church setting where they will hear the gospel.
  • It builds and strengthens relationships among the club leadership, parents, and clubbers.
  • It gets parents, grandparents, and other family members involved in the children’s club activities.
  • It provides another opportunity for adults in the church to serve the Lord, either helping make the cars or running the races.
  • It is a challenging, exciting event in the club year.
  • It can draw boys and girls back after the holidays or a drop in attendance.

No ads, resources are free, everything within 3 clicks!

Gospel Verses

1st Corinthians 15:3-4  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures:

John 3:16   For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Revelation 4:8b   Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

Romans 3:23   For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Romans 6:23   For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 5:8   But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Acts 16:31  And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Some would gather money

          Along the path of life,

Some would gather roses

          And rest from worldly strife.

But I would gather children

          From among the thorns of sin,

I would seek a golden curl

          And a friendly freckled grin.

For money cannot enter

          In that land of endless day,

And the roses that are gathered

          Soon will wilt along the way.

But oh, the laughing children,

          As I cross the sunset sea

And the gates swing wide to heaven,

          I can take along with me.
