A Legacy of Reaching Kids and Equipping Leaders

For over seven decades, the Lord has used the ministry of Awana to reach kids, equip leaders and change the world. While times and culture have changed, the Gospel has not. And our focus on the unchanging truth of the Gospel drives the same vision we’ve held all these years to reach kids in every corner of the globe. Rooted in the Gospel, we walk boldly into the future to reach more kids, equip more leaders, and continue to be used by God to help change the world.

Gospel-Driven, Mission-Focused, and Partner-Oriented

The Gospel defines us

We are relentlessly committed to proclaiming and living out the Gospel of Jesus Christ with clarity and urgency.

The vision and prayer of Awana is that all children and youth throughout the world will come to know, love and serve the Lord Jesus Christ.

Our mission drives us

The mission of Awana is to equip leaders to reach kids with the Gospel and to engage them in
lifelong discipleship.

Our ministry philosophy guides us

The Awana ministry philosophy places the primary ministry focus on being both highly Scriptural and highly relational. We call this The Great Connection, the distinct intersect of ministry when leaders, parents and mentors engage with children and youth around the Bible.

Our focus on partnership is how we work

We do our part to change the world by equipping leaders to reach kids, on their own sidewalk and around the world. We are deeply committed to local and global church partnerships.

  1. Consistent, clear Gospel presentation

  3. Engaging, exciting and fun
  4. Equipping adults for ministry to kids
  5. Training young people to serve and lead
