Awana at Willow Creek Community Church
“When we were looking at our children’s program here at Willow Creek, we realized that we needed to search for a curriculum that was highly relational, as well as one that creates a spiritually and biblically sound experience. When I discovered Awana and understood the heart behind it, I knew that it would serve kids in our church to grow strong in their faith. Awana unites the key elements of discipleship – relationship, biblical education, application and memorization. It’s the best discipleship program out there.”
Willow Creek Community Church is just one of 20,000 churches worldwide that use Awana.
They chose Awana for their midweek children’s ministry because Awana unites the key elements of discipleship – biblical education, application and memorization – all wrapped in relationship. Awana helps fulfill the mission to reach and disciple kids, getting them active in their faith – both in their community and around the world.

We are a proud Awana church. All my kids are now going through it. I thought there might be something better out there, we looked around to find it, but there is nothing out there that compares to Awana – it is the best there is.

When a church tells me they have an Awana program, I put them on a different level of having a priority for spiritual formation of young people. Awana is one of the finest Christian organizations in the world today.
