What We Do
The mission of Awana is to equip leaders to reach children and youth with the Gospel and engage them in lifelong discipleship. So that’s what we do, all day, every day.
A Legacy of Engaging Kids
With the Gospel
At Awana, we research and strategize to provide effective biblical and Gospel-centered curriculum, leader training, and ministry resources so every child can know who they are in Jesus and who He is to the world: Our Lord and Savior.
Midweek Child Discipleship
Midweek discipleship has proven year after year to be one of the best tools to foster lasting faith in Jesus, biblical literacy and kids’ sense of belonging to God and the Church. We provide curriculum, training and ongoing Awana support to ministries doing that very work in 140 countries.
Powerful Partnership: Church & Home
We’ve done the research (and are still doing it!), and it’s clear: The way to shape kids who love Jesus for life is through a joint effort from the church and the home. ChildDiscipleship.com, is Awana’s hub for child discipleship resources — most of them free! — that help families grow in faith together.
Weekend Discipleship
Awana created Brite curriculum so churches could have a Gospel-focused partner in weekend discipleship. Brite helps ministry teams engage kids with the Bible in meaningful, fun and theologically rock-solid ways, with bonus parent tools that encourage families to keep the conversation going at home.
Gospel Leadership Multiplied
Through our field coordinators in places like Nepal and Norway, we train ministry leaders around the world, igniting new vision for children’s ministry. We invest in them and ready them to teach God’s Word in their cultural context. And then, those leaders return home, equipped and empowered to train more leaders to launch child discipleship ministries.
Today's Mission Field Needs You
Our biblical resources and training events wade into the tough topics of our time to help families and churches raise kids who love Jesus even in a post-Christian culture.
You can wade in with us and anchor kids everywhere to His unfailing hope when you give to the Child Discipleship Fund.
