The founders of AWANA derived the AWANA name from the first letters of Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed as taken from 2 Timothy 2:15 of the Bible.

We have children from age 2 through the completed 8th grade. Children learn about missions & scriptures. After the club members work in their workbook, there is also a recreation time for fun and games. As club members progress through their books they earn patches and awards allowing them the feeling of accomplishment.

Awana helps churches and parents work together to develop spiritually strong children and youth who faithfully follow Jesus Christ. Our programs offer a proven approach for evangelizing and discipling kids in the church and community.

GA is a comprehensive missions education program, for girls in grades 1-6, which includes praying for missions, engaging in missions action and witness, learning about missions, developing spiritually toward a missions lifestyle, participating in the work of the church and denomination, and supporting missions.

Through participation in GA, girls grow in their knowledge, understanding, and application of the Bible. They also learn from the example of missionaries, believers, and hands-on mission action what it means to actively engage in ministering to others with the compassion of Christ.  

By hearing about missionaries in many different places, a GA discovers that God’s mission is world wide. By doing missions herself, she learns that she has a responsibility to change the world. 

So how can you change the lives of girls in your church? Through Girls in Action.

Royal Ambassadors (RAs) is a Bible-centered, church-based, Southern Baptist missions-learning ministry for boys in grades 1-6. The ministry involves boys in learning about missions through weekly meetings, mission projects, interest activities, meaningful relationships, and an advancement plan. For more than 100 years Southern Baptists have accomplished this in RAs through a mentoring relationship of Christian men to boys. Children in grades 1-3 are Lads, and those in grades 4-6 are Crusaders.
