Awana Missionaries: Specializing in Serving Your Church

Churches that run Awana are served by an Awana missionary in their area or region. These missionaries are also supported by highly qualified volunteers trained to address your church’s unique ministry needs and help you prepare for future growth.

Your church benefits from having an Awana missionary supporting all aspects of your church’s mission:

• Reaching kids and youth in your church and community
• Building bridges to your community’s families
• Discipling children and teens ages 2 to 18
• Improving Sunday school programs
• Recruiting and training lay people for Awana, youth and children’s ministries
• Developing future church leaders
• Preparing parents to spiritually lead their children
• And more!
