AWANA at First Baptist
AWANA Returns in September 2020!
First Baptist is absolutely committed to helping boys and girls genuinely encounter Jesus Christ, and we are just as committed to the safety and protection of the children and volunteers involved in AWANA. With these important commitments, we are making some changes to AWANA for this fall.
- In-person AWANA registration is scheduled for Wednesday, September 9 from 6:00 - 7:15 pm.
- Online AWANA registration is available any time by simply clicking here.
- AWANA begins with an online only format beginning Wednesday, September 16 and will remain online exclusively through the end of September.
- We will monitor and evaluate all relevant information to determine when we will be able to resume in-person AWANA activities. It is our desire to return to in-person activities as soon as safely possible. The online format will remain available at least through the end of December even when/if in-person activities have resumed.
- Details about the online format and printed materials will be available no later than Wednesday, September 9.
- Our plans will inevitably change as new information becomes available so please be sure you are receiving text messages from our AWANA leaders and that you stay connected with us through this website and our social media pages.
- Please do not hesitate to contact us by email or by calling the church office at 870-269-3409.
Where faith & fun intersect!
Every moment matters because every moment is an opportunity to point a child toward the love of Jesus Christ! One of the greatest ways to leverage moments with children is by allowing faith and fun to intersect. At First Baptist, faith and fun intersect on Wednesday nights from 6:00-7:15 pm during AWANA. AWANA is a free, fun, and exciting ministry designed especially for children age 3 through 6th grade. In AWANA, children earn badges and rewards as they work through age appropriate Scripture memorization workbooks, enjoy games and events designed just for them, and even learn to save others. Most importantly, every child encounters the love of Jesus Christ through our incredible volunteers.
