2024 Thorton Awana Ministry Conference is open!

What is AMC?

The 2024 Awana Ministry Conference™ is an in-person event for child discipleship leaders to gather, share a meal and worship together while you hone your ministry skills and grow in your knowledge of how to reach today’s kids.

Awana leaders, church staff, ministry volunteers, parents and students are all welcome to join us!

AMC 2024 will be the first of three years centered around the theme of “ONE: One child. One family. One mission.” Our focus in 2024 is on the significance of reaching one child at a time with the Gospel.

Through keynote messages, breakout sessions and conversation, we’ll flip the “see the forest for the trees” script. Children’s ministry impacts millions of kids around the globe —  that’s an amazingly beautiful “forest” — but it’s incumbent upon us to also lean in to take a closer look at the trees in our own backyards. 

How do we recognize which children are flourishing in their faith and which are floundering? How do we nurture the soil right where we are to feed the faith of kids in our immediate reach?

Hello Awana Family,

Just imagine! In 13 African countries, 2,657 schools now have Awana, reaching and discipling over 800,000 children with the Word of God. The Awana Child & African School Initiative is rapidly accelerating across the continent of Africa. The goal for the coming 12 months is 9,000 more schools reaching 3 million more students with the gospel and engaging them in lifelong discipleship. 

Awana in Public Schools

Awana has been invited to train and equip school teachers to incorporate Bible engagement in their weekly curriculum.

Come hear first-hand how God is working
Stephen Maphosah - Awana Africa Global Vice President

Rocky Mountain Calvary, 4285 N Academy Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO

Please RSVP by September 11th to Chris Dunrud - Chrisd@awana.org

This generation needs relationship. They absolutely need Bible teaching, but they also need more. They need someone to walk beside them and help them.

In the book "Resilient," Matt Markins challenges, "Parents, church leaders, and child disciple-makers, we must practice navigating real-life conversations with kids and students to help them become devoted followers of Jesus Christ.”

This year's Awana Ministry Conference offers a path to equip your leadership to engage kids in authentic conversations and encourage them to live out their faith and walk in the Spirit to become more and more like Jesus.  Captivating speakers and connections with like-minded leaders, real-solution breakouts, and uplifting worship will prepare your team to guide kids to become all God desires.

Any Awana leader, church staff member, volunteer or parent will find value in this year's AMC!  Join a community of disciplemakers to raise up a generation of resilient disciples of Jesus Christ.

Gather your team at the 2023 Awana Ministry Conference to help kids live out their faith in Jesus!

Many will share their experiences and tell of God’s mighty hand in their ministries.

We will also cover Resilient Child Discipleship Training, Awana Ministry Conference, and Barna Research “Children’s Ministry in a New Reality”.

Hope to see you all soon!

Registration for the 2022 Awana Ministry Conference is open!

In an ever-changing world, it’s critical that children are welcomed into a deeply scriptural ministry rooted in the Gospel and the truth of God’s Word. When they encounter His enduring truth, they gain the foundation they need to know, love and serve Jesus Christ.

You and your leadership team can come together and learn from a community of disciple makers passionate about seeing children grow in their love for God and understanding of Scripture. 

When you prioritize attending an AMC this year, you’ll hear from a thought-provoking keynote speaker and experience intentional connection with other leaders. In addition, you will be encouraged by real-solution breakouts and uplifting worship. Unite at the 2022 Awana Ministry Conference so the next generation will know He is God!
