Starting each September through the school year, children from age 3 though grade 4 have been joining us every Wednesday from 6:30pm to 8:00pm for a great time of learning about Jesus. There is a time of instruction along with games and singing. Have your child bring a friend too!
For more than thirty years . . .
Our mission outreach begins here in Glenwood with our AWANA ministry to children from age 3 through 8th grade. Each Wednesday about 50 children hear the Gospel presented in skits and devotionals, as well as in memorization of Scripture. This ministry has been enjoyed by generations of children in our community.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
EPHESIANS 2:8-10
Our AWANA ministry impacts not only the children that attend weekly, but their families and the entire community as well.
AWANA is also about helping the church instruct parents, train volunteers, and help your children and youth realize all that God intends them to be!
Our church hosts the AWANA club with help from leaders and listeners from 6 area churches. Our clubbers come from other area churches, as well as many who do not have a church home.
