Our Clubs!
Awana is divided up into three different age groups to better meet your child's needs.
Ages 2-3
The Puggles Club:
In many circles, “puggle” is a common term for a baby platypus. In children's ministry circles, Awana Puggles is an enriching program for your pre-Cubbies kids (usually older 2- and younger 3 year-olds) that presents basic biblical concepts: We are a unique creation of God. God loves us very much.
Awana Puggles teaches toddlers simple lessons through teaching cards, activities, music and more. Awana Puggles leaders have a leader’s guidebook to help them plan and direct club time and communicate the lesson.

Then parents—an Awana Puggle’s first and best teacher—can step in to reinforce the lessons with take-home cards that include ideas to point out God’s work each day. And little details like Awana Puggles T-shirts, puzzles and coloring books make every precious child feel like part of the group.
* Our Puggles Program is for the children of those parents who are either a Leader in Awana or for those who attend Bible / Prayer Meeting on Wednesday Nights.

The Cubbies curriculum features two handbooks written in a fun, storybook style that appeals to preschoolers (3-5 year-olds). The handbooks contain 24 Bear Hug sections along with six optional special-day sections. Each section combines basic Scripture memory with parent-child activities to help a child grasp a simple biblical truth.

Two extra-credit handbooks containing additional memory verses and character- building activities are also available. Before starting a handbook, newcomers to Cubbies are taken through an introductory brochure that gives parents and children a brief overview of the program and presents God’s plan of salvation at a preschooler’s level. In addition, all memory verses are presented at a level appropriate for their ages.

The Sparks Club:
This club is for children in kindergarten through second grade. The club builds on the material taught in our preschool club. The aim of the Sparks curriculum is to take youngsters step deeper into God’s Word while giving unsaved boys and girls regular opportunities to hear the gospel and come to faith in Jesus Christ. After being immersed in a solid foundational teaching at the preschool level, boys and girls frequently come to an understanding of their need to trust Christ as their personal Savior while in Sparks.
