MIDWEEK MINISTRIES

AWANA stands for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed and is based on the importance of memorizing verses from the Bible, described in 2 Timothy 2:15, “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.”

AWANA clubs are filled with fun, friendships, learning scripture and Biblical principles, games and other great activities.  All PCC child-safety protocols are in place during AWANA.
