Four segments provide start-to-finish excitement in every club meeting:
Opening Time: Kids meet in the Welcome Center at the Village Kids desk. We begin each Awana night with a group opening to help us focus on why we have Awana, "to reach boys and girls with the Gospel of Christ and train them to serve Him.”
Handbook Time: Kids work one-on-one in small groups with a trained leader to recite memorized verses. Leaders talk with children to ensure they understand key Bible verses that teach them how to know and follow God. Awards are given in recognition to children who have completed sections in their handbooks.
Large Group Time: Each club comes together to hear an age-appropriate Bible lesson to learn about character traits that honor God.
Game Time: Children learn teamwork and sportsmanship in team competition in the Awana Games Circle.
