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.

Friendly characters and leaders

Cubbie Bear, Luv E. Lamb, Ern. E. Elephant, Zip E. Zebra and Gigi Giraffe take preschoolers on a thrilling journey through God's Word. Caring, committed volunteer leaders from our church nurture your children spiritually as Christian role models and teachers.

Foundational teaching

Bible-centered handbooks and club activities help your children begin to build a solid understanding of the basics of Christianity at an early age.

Family involvement

Cubbies is unique because it supports parents as the primary source of spiritual nurturing. By working directly with their child on the weekly handbook lessons, parents become active participants in their child's spiritual development. Along the way, unsaved parents with kids in the program are introduced to God and His plan of salvation. Your kids will reap immediate benefits from their involvement in this exciting program. Just look at what they will learn after only two years:

• Approximately 55 memory verses and up to 120 additional verses if they complete our extra-credit curriculum
  
• Key basic truths about God, Jesus Christ, salvation and the Bible
  
• The gospel message and their need to trust Christ as Savior
  

SPARKIES

The Awana club for children in kindergarten through second grade builds on the material taught in our preschool club. The aim of the curriculum is to take youngsters a step deeper into God's Word while giving unsaved 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 while in Sparks.

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
  
• An increased emphasis on Scripture memory over our preschool materials. In three years, a child will learn and review 68 verses, many of which cover salvation and key Christian doctrine
  
• Clear and consistent presentation of the gospel message
  

Fun + learning = results

Sparks club meetings combine learning with fun to create an atmosphere of irresistible excitement for churched and unchurched kids alike. Club meetings are divided into three segments:

• Bible teaching, worship, award presentations and the gospel message
  
• Small group interaction and completion of Bible-based lessons
  
• Age-appropriate games on the Awana game circle
  

Along the way, Sparky, the friendly firefly, encourages boys and girls to learn verses and complete assignments throughout the three handbooks.

T & T - 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 T&T'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

Evangelism and discipleship go hand in hand in our third through sixth-grade program. By the time a child has completed T&T, he will have:

• Learned and reviewed approximately 310 verses
  
• Studied dozens of passages from the Old and New Testament
  
• Regularly heard and read the gospel message
  
• Discovered the Bible's response to questions like: How does God want me to live my life? And memorized verses to back up these answers
  
• Completed missions projects that help him see the world through God's eyes.
