What is Awana?

Awana is an international, nondenominational, Bible-centered youth organization providing weekday clubs and programs for children. First Baptist Church operates Awana programs for boys and girls ranging from 3 years old through the 6th grade.

The acronym Awana comes from the first letters of the phrase, "Approved workmen are not ashamed" (2 Timothy 2:15)
