Kids

Kingdom Kidz is our Sunday morning Bible program for children ages birth to fifth grade. Each week we plan fun Bible lessons and crafts for your kids to learn from and participate in. We value safety, friendships and fun each week.

Because security is important to us and we want to minimize classroom disruptions, we have a policy to not accept check-ins 30 minutes after the start of service.

K4-Elementary begins Sunday mornings in our Fellowship Hall to play games and worship, they’re then escorted by leaders to their classrooms (we have maps at our check-in desk). Early Childhood rooms are located across from Fellowship Hall on our building’s main level. Please note: In the Summer, k4-Elementary are in The Fellowship Hall during the whole service.

All leaders and volunteers must complete a background check before serving. We require all our leaders and volunteers to go through annual training. There are always adults and staff present during Summer Adventure Camps, AWANA Clubs and Kingdom Kidz Sunday mornings. Additional safety measures are listed below.

AWANA Clubs: A safety team member is present during every club meeting. Only the main Worship Center doors remain open; all others are locked. Every child must be picked up by a parent/guardian at the end of the night.

Kingdom Kidz: For Early Childhood We have two security tags printed with each check-in. A parent or sibling (Ages 16+) can only do pick up and one security tag must be presented when picking up your child. For Elementary, a parent or sibling (ages 13+) must pick up their child at their designated classroom(s).

Medical conditions and allergies are printed at the bottom of each child’s name tag for easy reference.

For 25+ years we’ve offered summer camps for families in our church and neighboring communities to sign up for and attend. Each camp is lead by an expert volunteer. If you’re interested in learning more about this summer ministry click HERE. Or you can contact Jodi at jwhite@myabc.church

Registrations open April 1, 6am each year. However, if you’re interested in leading a camp we take camp theme submissions as early as January. Please connect with our Summer Adventure Camp director, Jodi.

AWANA stands for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed (2 Timothy 2:15). Our goal is to build resilient disciples through scripture memory, comprehension, and fun. We offer 25 minutes of Game Time (based of the nights theme), 25 minutes of Council Time (Bible teaching & worship), and 25 minutes of Handbook Time (small group scripture memory & discussion). We encourage families to practice Bible memory at home so kids can come prepared with 1–2 verses each week.  But don’t worry—whether your child has verses ready or not, they are always welcome!

Clubbers should work through their verses in order and are encouraged to work on 1-2 verses each week at home. Check your child’s handbook for the last verse with a leader’s signature, then help your clubber memorize the next verse in the book. The next verse after the signature is the verse they should work on at home.

Sparks and T&T clubbers can earn shares (our AWANA money) throughout the evening. Clubbers can spend their shares at our AWANA Store twice a year, in December and April.

Clubbers can earn shares by:

– Attendance for the evening

– Wearing their uniform

– Bringing their Bible

– Bringing their handbook

– Every verse memorized = 1 share!

– Participation in the weekly theme

– Bringing a friend

– Parent signature (T&T books only)

– Showing exceptional behavior and earning a bonus share

Cubbies, Kindergarten, and 3rd Grade: Yes, they start a new handbook each year.

Other grades: No, they may continue working in last year’s handbook until it is complete.

Yes! We love having guests and meeting our clubbers’ friends. Bringing a friend is a great way to share the fun of AWANA and introduce them to God’s Word. Parents can register for the evening by clicking here and selecting AWANA Trial.
