Awana                                                   
Our church offers an AWANA program for children ages 3 through 8th grade, and starts each Wednesday evening at 6:15 p.m. in our Family Life Center. The term 'AWANA' stands for "Approved Workers Are Not Ashamed," and is a reference to the Bible verse which teaches us to "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, handling accurately the word of truth." (II Timothy 2:15)

This childrens' ministry emphasizes scripture memorization and a clear understanding of the Gospel message, presented in a fast-paced and fun-filled format. Our AWANA Commander, Matthew Matlock, is committed to developing the very best ministry possible, and he has enlisted some of our best workers to serve in this program. Any child ages 3 through 8th grade is welcome to attend, and is encouraged to bring friends along, too! Parents are welcome to stay and watch, or even help if they would like.

For more information, contact the AWANA Commander: Matthew Matlock, mdmtsm@fidnet.com 

Children’s Worship                         

 For Kids 3 years old to 2nd Grade

The Children’s Church program takes place in the Family Life Center gym during Sunday morning worship services. Children may be dropped off and picked up there.   During the program, children will participate in a worship service designed specifically for them.  These services will use songs, Bible teaching (through story-telling, skits, crafts, and puppets) and discussion about real life application to introduce children to the concept of worship, to encourage them to apply the Bible to their lives, and to illustrate what it means to have a relationship with Christ.
