“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
– 2 Timothy 2:15
AWANA stands for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed (2 Timothy 2:15) At Springfield FBC, we believe that the Word of God is precious and powerful and that the memorization and meditation of it transforms hearts and lives. Founded in Chicago, this powerful ministry teaches young minds and equips parents in leading their children in the way of the Lord.
Due to the growth of the Children’s department, lack of space and limited volunteers, we are making changes to the clubber acceptance policy this year. We will only be accepting new registration for those who attend FBC Springfield. We have grandfathered in any clubber that was registered in Awana last year. So if you do not attend FBC Springfield but did participate in Awana last year you are welcome to register for the upcoming year.
2026-2027 REGISTRATION CRITERIA:
Puggles: (up to 3 years old not potty trained) This class will be for volunteer children only.
Cubbies: (Pre K potty trained). This class will be for clubbers who attend FBC Springfield or were registered in Cubbies last year.
Sparks: (K-2nd grade) This class will be for clubbers who attend FBC Springfield or were registered in Cubbies/Sparks last year.
T&T: (3rd-5th grade) This class will be for clubbers who attend FBC Springfield or were registered in Sparks/TNT last year.
Trex (6th-8th grade) This class will be open to any middle schooler
Journey (9th-12th grade) This class will be open to any high schooler.
We know change is hard and there is no perfect solution. If you have questions, please reach out to AWANA director Nancy Horton at (912) 659-0561.
