Awana is Mission Hills Church midweek program for kids Preschool to High School, reaching kids for Christ the past 40 years. Bible lessons, Bible memorization, games, awards and other activities make Awana a lively weekly experience where fun and learning go hand in hand. Kids recite verses they memorize each week. Recognition and awards are given throughout the year. Games are fun and a highlight along with theme nights and special events.

Awana Provides
Bible Knowledge
Awana gets kids involved in learning God's Word and developing a personal relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. Each week kids (3-12)will have Bible lessons using puppets, audio or visual aids to convey spiritual truths to help them grow. Kids (13-18) will participate in age appropriate interactive Bible Study that develops Biblical morals and godly character. Awana kids recite verses that emphasize God's plan of salvation and how to live daily lives as Christians. They learn about missionaries and sharing Christ with others. Kids benefit from the relationships they build with their leaders.
