Who We Are, What We Do

AWANA (Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed ~ 2 Timothy 2:15) is an international, non-denominational, Bible-centered ministry committed to teaching children the Word of God.  At AWANA children play games, have Bible lesson time, and earn awards by reciting memorized scripture.
We are excited to welcome kids back to AWANA. Whether it’s your first year or ninth year at AWANA, we trust that God has something special for us this year!

AWANA is held Wednesdays after school from 4:00 to 5:30 for
ages 3 through 6th grade

Our club meetings consist of four components, but exact schedule and activities vary from club to club.

Opening Ceremony
After-school Snacks, pledges to the American & AWANA flags,
AWANA song

Handbook Time
Kids recite to their leaders the sections they’ve
learned during the week or take time to learn additional verses

Registration for the 2026/27 school year will open in August.

Come back and check in with us then.  

All children ages 3 thru 6th grade are welcome.  Transportation is available for children attending school in the Pocono Mountain School District (Swiftwater campus).

Forms may be accessed by the links below and completed forms brought with you to the Open House on September 7th or dropped off at the church anytime by dropping off in the black mailbox on the right wall outside the main entrance.   

We truly look forward to serving your child!  Contact us through the church office at 570-629-1712 or at [email protected] if you have any questions.
