Community Kids Awana
A night at an Awana club balances connection, learning the Gospel and having fun to help kids grow relationally and spiritually.
What is Awana?
Awana is a Bible-based, Christ-centered program for children. It is an international Bible centered club whose primary goal is to teach boys and girls the Gospel of Christ and train them to serve Him. Awana includes scripture memory, Biblical principles, games, activities, songs, uniforms, badges and awards. It is a great honor to serve God in this way and to lead children to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
The word AWANA stands for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed and comes from the Bible verse II Timothy 2:15: “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.”

What Happens At Awana?
Large Group Time
Kids gather together for Bible teaching, worship, announcements, and awards. This is a great opportunity for kids to hear the gospel and Biblical truth directly from pastors, missionaries, and guest speakers.
Small Group Time
Relationships and belonging begin in small groups as kids huddle up with a consistent leader from week to week to discuss Bible lessons, ask and answer important questions, pray together and complete handbooks.
Group Activity Time
A session of Awana Games, crafts, or other team-building activity help foster fun and encouraging relationships in the midst of the evening.
FAQs
Yes, there is a cost for Awana to help cover materials. Prices vary by age group: Cubbies – $34.19, Sparks – $37.95, and T&T – $36.87.
Awana is Wednesday Nights from 6:15 to 8PM
Who will be working with the kids? All volunteers will be from the CBC church family or approved by CBC pastoral leadership, background-checked, and trained in Community Kids policies. They are excited to work with the kids! Additionally, Safety team members will be onsite overseeing our church campus.
How will dropoff/pickup work? Our Awana club will utilize the same check-in process used during Sunday ministry time. Parents will check in kids via our check-in kiosks, print and secure kid name/allergy labels to their child, and retain the parent receipt sticker to show at pickup time. Upon registration, parents will be asked to list all approved persons allowed to pickup and drop off their child(ren). If there are different people picking up and dropping off kids, a picture of the sticker will work. Anyone with a lost sticker will be asked to show their driver’s license to confirm that person is on the approved pickup list. Thank you for understanding the importance of our child safety measures.
What snacks will be offered? Volunteers will offer kids one individual, pre-packaged snack and 8 oz. water bottle during small group time. The snack choices will typically be chips, Cheez-Its, goldfish, etc. All snacks will be peanut-free and CBC is glad to make other dietary accommodations upon request. Parents will be informed in advance of any special events where different food will be offered. We ask that parents not dropoff kids with water bottles unless there is a medical need.
When will Awana take breaks? Typical school breaks and holiday weeks will be observed. Additionally, as CBC holds a family dinner and meeting on a quarterly basis, Awana will pause on those nights and Community Kids offer different programming. An Awana calendar is being developed and will be sent to parents and posted here once finalized.
Are uniforms and handbooks required to participate? Yes, CBC asks families to purchase kid uniforms at the start of the school-year for simplicity rather than take a semester-based approach or work through weekly club dues as some Awana clubs do. Both uniforms and handbooks are designed to help enhance the club experience – they provide a sense of belonging to the larger group and allow kids to display their achievements as they work through the program.
Awards provide a fun way to encourage kids to participate in Awana. Awards are earned in age-appropriate ways as kids complete handbook sections and complete other challenges. Parents are encouraged to stay engaged with their child’s progress and celebrate achievements as they occur!
As long as space is available, families are certainly welcome to join mid year. Please register your child via the registration link. Your family’s materials will be ordered, but may take several weeks to arrive based on Awana’s shipping process. You’ll be notified when the order is placed and when you can expect the materials to arrive. Please feel free to also contact [email protected] if your family would be interested in joining mid-year to discuss program details for your family, especially if you are coming from another Awana program to ensure the correct materials are ordered for your child. Once our age groups are full, CBC won’t be able to add additional children unless a current club member drops out. This is to make sure CBC has proper adult-to-child ratios and available resources to best serve Awana families.
Per CBC’s Awana’s missionary recommendation, CBC is using the Awana “Together We Move” approach where each group focuses on one book throughout the year. For the ’25-’26 school year, Cubbies will work through Honeycomb, Sparks through HangGlider, and T&T through Grace in Action. As new children join these groups in subsequent years, we understand they will have different handbooks, but our current approach will be for our large group lessons to rely on just one book for a group.
The registration fees cover the uniform and handbooks costs for each child. If these materials are used, the church will not be able to return them for a refund and pass on that refund to you. If these materials are unused, refunds may occur according to current Awana refund policies. Please note that if a child misses four consecutive Awana meetings without communication from families, the child may be removed from the roster to allow for space for another child to join.
