What Makes AWANA Unique?
 

• Commitment to reaching unsaved children and families with the gospel
• Bible teaching to build a biblical worldview
• Support for parents as children's primary spiritual trainers
• A fun, dynamic approach to learning God’s Word
• Mentor and peer relationships
• Training future church leaders to serve today
• Mission Focused
   
  What Matters Most to God … and to AWANA . . . and to Parkside

  
  Children hold a special place in Jesus’ heart. He created them. He sacrificed His life for their sins. He longs for them to know, love and serve Him. He desires to spend eternity with them. His kingdom belongs to such as these.
   
•  For the safety of our children we have check-in and pick-up procedures.  
   Parents or guardians need to drop off and pick up Cubbies in the preschool foyer.
