AWANA

 


What Makes AWANA Unique?
  • It brings churches and parents together to raise children  to know, love, and serve Christ.:
  • Commitment to reaching unsaved children and families with the gospel
  • Bible teaching to build a biblical worldview
  • Support for parents as kids' primary spiritual trainers
  • A fun, dynamic approach to learning God’s Word
  • Mentor and peer relationships
  • Training future church leaders to serve today 

  

  • 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 specific check-in procedures and pick-up procedures. Parents or guardians need to check children in and pick them up in the front lobby of the ROC in front of the north doors.

 

What age-group programs are available through AWANA?

 • Sparks: Kindergarten through second grade
 
• Truth and Training: Third through sixth grade
