Awana
Due to recent increases in Covid cases in Champaign County and in accordance with CDC guidelines, the Governor of Illinois, and mandates/recommendations from local authorities, we will suspend AWANA until the evening of January 6th. Please check for pertinent updates about the remainder of the AWANA year.
Awana Clubs
As children enter into the pivotal elementary years, our Elementary curriculum ensures that kids are not only knowledgeable of God’s Word but are able to apply His truth to their lives and face anything as disciples of Christ.
Cubbies
Cubbies® nurtures the budding faith of preschoolers and celebrates their desire to explore all that God has created. This two year preschool ministry curriculum features exciting games, storytelling, puppet shows, and biblical teaching as well as take-home activities and tools.
Sparks – Grades K-2
Sparks® ignites a child’s curiosity about the people and events of the Bible, building a foundation of wisdom for knowing Christ. This three year early elementary school ministry curriculum features exciting games, engaging activities, biblical teaching and media resources for kids and leaders.
T & T – Grades 3-6
T&T® explores the concept of grace by focusing on the character and nature of God, identity of Christ, as well as the structure and format of the Bible. This four year upper elementary school ministry curriculum is created to ensure that kids and leaders connect through God’s Word.
