Here are some AWANA facts:

Awana Partners with Churches and Parents to Build Enduring Spiritual Growth in Children and Youth

Overview: As a ministry leader for nearly 60 years, Awana helps churches and parents partner to develop spiritually strong children and youth who faithfully follow Jesus Christ.

Awana is making an impact. A recent national survey found Awana to be as important to our alumni’s spiritual foundation as all other church activities combined. A notable statistic is that among the alumni who participated in Awana programs for at least six years, 92.7 percent still attend church “about weekly” or more frequently as adults.

Our Outreach: Each week, more than one million children and youth, 250,000 volunteers and 300-plus field staff participate in Awana. Over 17,000 churches and 100 denominations operate Awana programs. We have nearly doubled our influence globally in the last 10 years with more than 12,000 church Awana programs in the U.S. and 5,700 in 101 countries throughout the world.

Our Vision: We help churches and parents worldwide raise children and youth to know, love and serve Christ through:

• Fully integrated programs for ages 2 to 18

• Evangelism tools to reach children, youth and families

• Teaching that builds an enduring biblical faith

• Resources that bring churches and parents together to disciple the next generation

• Initial and ongoing volunteer training

• Healthy mentor and peer relationships

• Age-appropriate appeal for children, teens and adults alike
