What is AWANA?  

The name is taken from the Scripture 2 Timothy 2:15 and is acronym for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed, referring to people who are very familiar with the Bible, one of the main goals of AWANA.

Fairhaven's AWANA Clubs are for boys and girls from pre-school through Junior High ages. Our leadership is dedicated to teaching the principles set forth in God's Holy Word to these children in order to establish a foundation for their faith. Your kids will get excited as they come join us in this structured, well-prepared program. The clubs are divided into three segments, which follow a nightly theme. During Game Time they will have a blast as they participate in various running and coordination events in teams which foster cooperation and encouragement of others. Hand Book Time is personal achievement oriented, emphasizing Scripture memory and the importance of God's Word in directing their lives. The handbooks the children work on at home also stress the importance of the family, patriotism, and helping others. During Counsel Time the children sing rousing Christian songs and hear challenging, interesting Bible stories aimed at their own age group. Counsel Time ends with team and individual awards recognition. Your kids will discover the importance of being team members, studying the Bible, discipline, and respect for authority in an environment with ample, caring, competent adult supervision.

Kids describe AWANA as fun! They have a great time! And get personal attention from their leaders.
