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 your 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

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.
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
Sparks
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
