Sparks, the Awana club for children in kindergarten through second grade, builds on the material taught in our Cubbies club. Our focus is to take youngsters a step deeper into God’s Word and allow them to hear the gospel and come to faith in Jesus Christ. After being immersed in solid foundational teaching boys and girls frequently come to an understanding of their need to trust Christ as their personal Savior while in Sparks.

Our Club Night
We begin our club night as a group with an opening ceremony. Then we rotate the clubs through the Handbook, Game and Counsel Times. Awards and recognition through-out the year are presented at the end of the night.

Handbook Time
Children are divided into their age-groups (Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades). Using achievement-oriented learning segments and Bible verse memorization, Clubbers progress through graded handbooks, working individually and together with their leader.

Game Time
Game time provides team and individual competition centered around the Awana Game circle. Dozens of organized games get everyone's participation, unleashing natural energy and enthusiasm.


Counsel Time
This is a general session for everyone. It's quality time for group Bible Study and Missions Education.

Awards and Recognition

Awards are earned individually for handbook progress and attendance.

Our three-year Sparks program allows clubbers to have: 

• Basic truths about God, Jesus Christ, salvation and the Bible
• An increased emphasis on Scripture memory
• Potential to learn and review approximately 68 verses
• Receive clear and consistent presentation of the gospel message
