Awana is a nondenominational ministry that exists to reach children and teenagers with the gospel of Jesus Christ, to equip them to honor God, to grow them in their faith, and to challenge them to fulfill the Great Commission.
The Awana name is an acronym (Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed) from 2 Timothy 2:15, “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.”
