'An Independent Baptist Church' AWANA Approved
Workmen Are Not Ashamed (2
Tim. 2:15) Awana began in 1950 as
a youth program at the North Side Gospel Center in Chicago, Illinois. Lance Latham, the church pastor, worked with
Art Rorheim to develop a program that would appeal to young people, reach them
with the gospel of Christ, and train them in the Lord’s work. Other churches heard about the success of
the Awana program and asked if they could use it. By 1960, Awana had chartered 900 clubs, and the growth
necessitated a move from the church into a headquarters building. There are currently
more than 7,800 churches in the United States that have Awana Clubs. There are Awana Clubs in all 50 states. Awana can also be found in over 1,400
churches in more than 90 other countries, from Argentina to Zimbabwe, from
Iceland to Australia. The Awana Club Programs… Ages 3 & 4……………………Cubbies(coed) Grades K, 1, 2……………….. Sparks(coed) Grades 3 & 4………………….Pals(boys) & Chums(girls) Grades 5 & 6………………….Pioneers(boys) &
