A Foundational Child Discipleship Ministry.

Are you searching for an effective AND affordable midweek program for your kid’s ministry? Awana Clubs is still going strong in churches across the U.S. after 74 years! This proven midweek program provides Gospel-centered, engaging curriculum and activities for ages 2-18.

Awana Clubs works for any church (large or small) with a focus and passion to biblically disciple kids! You choose your programs, your products and how to use your space.

What happens at an Awana club:

Large Group Time
Kids gather together for Bible teaching, worship, announcements and awards. This is a great opportunity for kids to hear the Gospel from pastors, missionaries or guest speakers!
Small Group Time
Relationships and belonging begin in small groups! Kids will have the opportunity to huddle around a consistent leader to foster warm relationships as they discuss the Bible lesson, ask questions, work through their handbooks and pray together.
Group Activity Time
Kids never forget playing games, making crafts and jumping (literally) into group activities! Even if your church doesn’t have a gym or activity center, you can customize Awana Clubs games and activities to fit your vision and your space.

64% of churches who have midweek ministry for children stated discipleship is the main goal of their midweek programming. (Awana Club Update 5 by 5 Research Report, 2023) At Awana, we believe it’s not enough to simply introduce kids to the Bible; we have to prioritize discipling kids weekly so they learn how the Bible applies to their life.

86% of adults who experienced Awana Clubs as a child gained wisdom to apply the Bible to their lives. (Excellence in Giving Awana Alumni Study, 2020)

For years, Awana has partnered with local churches to bring God’s Word to children around the world. We’ve watched Him move in kids, families, volunteers and even change entire communities. Let’s bring the power of Awana Clubs to your ministry!

For over 70 years Awana has been helping churches reach children and students with the gospel, deepening their faith through knowing Jesus through the Scriptures and walking with Him as disciples. In the U.S. particularly, Awana has become known as a “mid-week” ministry (and we love mid-week ministry!). But what about the churches who align with our vision and values, but don’t have a mid-week ministry (or they use Awana clubs mid-week, but are looking for something new for Sunday morning)? In our effort to partner with churches to reach and disciple more kids for Jesus Christ, we have developed brite* Curriculum. Check out the video below to learn more.
