 *****This year's AWANA "Semester"
will start on January 11th.*****
Welcome to
HBC’s AWANA ministry. Every Wednesday during the school year,
at 7:00 PM, children and teens from age 3 thru 14 (9th grade) fill our
church’s fellowship and educational facilities, eagerly
anticipating the evening’s activities.
Our AWANA ministry, beginning its 13th year,
trains youth to become Approved Workmen
who Are Not Ashamed,
as we reach boys and girls for Christ and Train Them to Serve Him (from
the AWANA pledge).
During every meeting, clubbers (children
participating in the program) work during Verse
Time to recite the Bible verses
that they have memorized throughout the week. They work through verse
books and get awards for each section of the books that they complete.
These awards are placed on the clubbers' uniforms and proudly displayed.
Game
Time brings exciting and zany
challenges as the clubbers play the unique four-team AWANA games on the
AWANA game square. The Clubbers truly enjoy the competition. They also
love to see their leaders participate, and sometimes (often) even make
good-natured fools of themselves.
During Council
Time, the clubbers are
challenged from God’s Word through a number of different
means – skits, missionary stories, special missionary
speakers, and object lessons. Many clubbers have made meaningful,
lifechanging decisions in our council time.
The AWANA ministry is divided into three clubs and one program:
•
Cubbies – Ages 3-4
(Two years before Kindergarten)
• Sparks
– Grades K-2
• Truth
& Training (T&T)
– Grades 3-6
• Trek
– Grades 7-8
• Journey
– 9th Grade
Each club has its own theme, club shirt, and
unique set of Bible study materials.
 We are thankful for the
many dedicated leaders that have volunteered to help make this ministry
a blessing to so many young people at Heritage Baptist Church.
If you would like more information about the
AWANA program at Heritage Baptist Church, contact the church office or email

Parents are always encouraged to stick around during club time, if they
want to sit in with their child to better understand our program. Here
is the schedule of the AWANA events for this year. Hope to see you on
Wednesdays.
