Kadena Air Base AWANA Program

Program Information

What is ?

AWANA is an international, nondenominational, Bible centered youth organization that provides weekly clubs and programs for children ages 3-18. The acronym AWANA comes from the first letters of the phrase, “Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed” (2 Timothy 2:15)

AWANA exists to reach children with the gospel of Christ and train them to serve Him. The priorities of AWANA also include scripture memory, reaching parents/families with the gospel, and training adults to minister to children.

Please peruse the site for more information. We look forward to hearing from you!

What is Cubbies?

The Awana club for preschoolers is built on two premises:

• Young children can and should receive spiritual training.

• Home is the primary place for spiritual training.

Our preschool program meets these needs through …

Fun – and lots of it!

Awana is fun with a purpose – to reach and train kids for Jesus Christ. Games, puppets, crafts, awards and other activities transform our preschool program into a lively weekly experience where fun and learning go hand in hand.

The Cubbies curriculum features two handbooks written in a fun, storybook style that appeals to preschoolers. The handbooks contain 24 Bear Hug sections along with six optional special-day sections. Each section combines basic Scripture memory with parent-child activities to help a child grasp a simple biblical truth. Two extra-credit handbooks containing additional memory verses and character-building activities are also available.

Before starting a handbook, newcomers to Cubbies are taken through an introductory brochure that gives parents and children a brief overview of the program and presents God’s plan of salvation at a preschooler’s level.

In addition, all memory verses are presented at a level appropriate for 3- and 4-year-olds, making it easy for kids to hide God’s Word in their heart.

What is Sparks?

The AWANA club for children in Kindergarten through 2nd Grade builds on the material taught in our preschool clubs. The curriculum takes kids a step deeper into God’s Word while giving boys and girls regular opportunities to hear the Gospel and come to faith in Jesus Christ. After being immersed in solid foundational teaching at the preschool level, boys and girls frequently come to an understanding of their need to trust Christ as their personal Savior.

Immersing Kids in God’s Word

The Sparks program is firmly grounded in Scripture. The three handbooks feature:

Basic truths about God, Jesus Christ, salvation and the Bible
A clear and consistent presentation of the Gospel message
An increased emphasis on Scripture memory over our preschool materials. In three years, a child will learn to review over 65 verses, many of which cover salvation and key Christian doctrine.

What is Truth & Training?

The name Truth & Training reflects the passion of Awana to teach third- through sixth-grade boys and girls the truth of God’s Word and to train them to follow Christ in their daily lives. Our goal is that many of today’s young people will become tomorrow’s church leaders. T&T is the program that trains the leaders of tomorrow — today.

Exciting features to get kids excited about God’s Word

T&T is equipped with a variety of dynamic tools to accomplish this mission:

Four handbooks of increasing difficulty which teach children that life’s ultimate adventure is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
A cast of fun characters that boys and girls learn from and follow on interesting journeys in the handbooks.
Weekly meetings that expose children to the gospel message, Scripture memory, Bible study, awards, team-oriented games and gut-busting fun.
A Bible-centered curriculum that helps kids build a firm foundation for their faith, hide God’s Word in their heart and apply the truths of Scripture to their daily lives.
Interactive CDs that use exciting high-tech games to teach and reinforce key biblical truths.
