Founded in 1950, the AWANA ministry is:

• An international, non-denominational Bible-centred children’s and youth ministry.
• Committed to the evangelism and discipleship of children and youth.
• Effective in getting the gospel into the homes of unsaved families.
• An outward-focussed ministry that can revitalise a church – bringing revival, energy and growth.
• Dedicated to assisting the local church in training parents fulfil their role as the spiritual leaders of their children.
• Focussed on missions.

At the core of Awana are its weekly club programs in local churches. From preschool to high school, children and youth have fun playing age-appropriate games, memorising Bibles verses in an organised, topical system, and participating in large-group Bible teaching.
