AWANA CLUBS
The Awana program aims to connect children ages 3-12 to the life-changing message of salvation and gives the opportunity for Biblical education. Awana is designed to be an engaging time of learning with games, songs, activities, verse memorization and fun prizes!
Awana at Bethany Chapel exists as a central part of our Friday night family programming. The intention is to have a place for Bethany families to connect with each other to strengthen relationships within the church and to facilitate faith formation for all ages. Awana gives discipleship opportunities for children as well as serving and connecting opportunities for parents and other adults who desire to be invested in the next generation.
