Awana History
Awana works with churches from 100 different
denominations. It began as a children's program at the North Side Gospel Center in Chicago in 1941. Lance Latham, North Side's senior pastor, collaborated with the church's youth director, Art Rorheim, to develop weekly clubs that would appeal to churched and nonchurched kids, lead them to trust Christ for
salvation and grow them in enduring faith and
service to God.
Other churches learned about the success of the program and inquired about its availability. In 1950, Latham and Rorheim founded Awana as a parachurch organization. By 1960, 900 churches had started Awana programs. By 1972 Awana had begun its fi rst international club. Today children and youth in more than 100 countries participate in Awana programs,
and millions of adults are alumni. Leading Kids Worldwide to Know, Learn and Serve Christ Awana helps churches and parents work together to develop spiritually strong children and youth who faithfully follow Jesus Christ.
Our programs offer a proven approach for evangelizing and discipling kids in the church and community.
As a ministry leader for 60 years, Awana is making an impact. A recent national survey found Awana to be as important to our alumni's spiritual foundation as all other church activities combined. Among alumni who participated in our programs for at least six years, 92.7 percent still attend church at least weekly as adults!
Each week, more than one million kids ages 2 to 18 participate in Awana. Over 12,000 churches in the U.S. and more than 9,000 internationally run Awana programs that change young lives through biblical truth.

How Can I Help?
Glad you asked. Awana can always use a
helpers. Here are the ways you can help.
• What is involved in being a helper?
Usually we need people to sit and help children
practice their memory verses, listen to
the children quote their verses & help them
read their lesson books. You would be in
a room with the children and several other
helpers and the class leader. Trish, our
commander of Awana, would be stopping in
periodically to see our progress and fi nd out
if more help is needed.
If you are interested then talk with Trisha
Rhodes about opportunities for you to help.
• Is there anything else I could do
besides be a helper?
Sure, do you have any cool craft ideas that
we could incorporate into an Awana lesson.
Let Trisha, or one of the class leaders,
know the details so we can pass it along
and possibly incorporate it into one of our
lessons.
• What if I want to teach?
Great, talk with Commander Trisha about
training opportunities and how you could be
used as a class leader.
• I would like to donate money for the
Awana program?
If donations to support the Awana program
is how you would like to participate that is
wonderful. Awana has many awards and
lesson levels along with vests and t-shirts
to purchase. Your donations would be put
to good use to support new clubbers to get
started on their learning. Just specify what
ministry you want your donations to go
toward.
