Family Fellowship/AWANA
On Wednesday evenings from 6:30 - 7:45 p.m., we host events for all ages at church.
- 6:30 - 7:30 Prayer Meeting
- 6:30 - 7:45 AWANA (September-May)
AWANA (Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed [2 Tim. 2:15]) is a Bible memorization and discipleship program committed to advancing a child’s relationship with Christ through the Word
of God. It runs September to May. Berean Community Church offers AWANA for ages 3through 12th grade (10th-12th grade are by arrangement and involve serving as a helper in
AWANA).
We meet Wednesday evenings from 6:15 PM - 7:45 PM. From 6:15 PM - 6:30 PM, kids are signed in by their parents. From 6:30 PM - 7:40 PM, kids enjoy games, solid teaching, and
receive one-on-one discipleship, where their leaders listen to their memory verses, check over their bookwork, and spend time praying with and for them. From 7:40 PM - 7:45 PM, awards are
passed out at our closing ceremony for clubbers who completed their sections in their books. Once AWANA ends, parents are to sign their kids out.
As kids are in AWANA, parents can attend Prayer Meeting (6:30 PM - 7:30 PM) in English or Spanish! Parents are expected to stay on Berean’s premises for the duration of the program. If

Philosophy of Ministry: The Bible clearly teaches that parents have the responsibility to instruct their children in the ways of our Lord (Deut. 6:6-9). Therefore, we see youth ministry as an aid to what should already be taking place at home. Every church with a youth ministry must protect itself from the danger of allowing it to supplant the responsibility of parents. Youth ministry must always equip and support the spiritual duties of the family.
While many homes are blessed with Christian parents who lead their children in godliness, there are many homes where that is not the case. Our youth ministry seeks to provide leadership, encouragement and discipleship to young adults of a variety of backgrounds. We have a wonderful culture of discipleship in which older saints greatly encourage our youth.
Since our primary concern is spiritual growth, the teaching of the Word is central. Every Monday at 7 p.m., the young people meet for a time of Bible study and recreation at the church. Aside from this, the youth group enjoys many other activities like summer trips to Wayumi, organizing Backyard VBS, Christmas Caroling, etc. We praise the Lord for the work of the Spirit evident in this ministry.
