What do Awana Clubs teach?
The Gospel of Jesus Christ. Everyone is a sinner (Romans 3:23) and in God’s eyes deserves eternal punishment in hell (Romans 6:23, Revelation 20:15). But Jesus Christ, God’s Son, paid the penalty for our sin when He was crucified on the cross and cross from the dead (Romans 5:8; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4). If we trust Jesus Christ as our personal Savior, we receive God’s gift of eternal life in heaven. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Salvation is a free gift; we cannot buy it or earn it by doing good works (Ephesians 2:8-9). Instead we must simply accept it. Each child and leader must understand this important message, for it is what our Awana Clubs teach and the reason for their existence.
