Our Prayer
That all children and youth throughout

serve the Lord Jesus Christ.
Principle #1
Awana is centered
on the gospel.
Clear and Confusing Invitations
Will you invite Jesus into your heart?
Confusing
Will you surrender your life to Christ?
Confusing
Will you promise to follow Christ or commit yourself to Him?
Confusing

Confusing
Clear and Confusing Invitations
Will you make Christ the Lord of your life?
Confusing
Are you willing to forsake all your sins to obtain salvation?
Confusing
Will you give your heart to Jesus?
Confusing
Clear and Confusing Invitations
Will you accept the Lord Jesus and trust Him as your personal Savior?
Clear - This is biblically accurate. Nonbelievers must personally
trust Christ to save them from the penalty of their sin.
Will you believe that Jesus Christ died for your sins and rose
from the grave and, therefore, put your trust in Him?
Clear -This is biblically correct. The Bible’s use of the word
“believe” means to place our trust in. In this context believe
means to place my trust in the work of Christ.
Principle #2
Scripture memory
is key.
Biblical Worldview:
Seeing the world through biblical lenses
and making choices accordingly.
Biblical Worldview:
• Jesus Christ lived a sinless life.
• God is the all-powerful and all-knowing Creator of the universe
and still rules it today.
• Salvation is a gift from God and cannot be earned.
• Satan is real.
• Christians have a responsibility to share their faith with others.
• The Bible is accurate in all its teachings.
Psalm 119:105
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
GOD
Scripture Memory Standards
• They should be word perfect.
• Two helps per section (a help contains no more than three or
four words, and is any sort of hint that you give a clubber).
• If there’s more than one verse per section, they must be
said together.
• Must recite with the reference.
Principle #3
Awana is
fun and exciting.
Discipline
• Discipline is related to the word disciple.
• To disciple is to instruct.
• Discipline is about teaching, not punishment.
Discipline Methods
• Positive points are used to reinforce good behavior.
• The five-count is used for group discipline.
• The three-count is for individual discipline.
Positive Points
• Sparks and T&T.
• Give points through the entire club
meeting for various things.
• Weight the points to emphasize the most
important things.
Principle #4
Children and youth
are trained to serve.
Principle #5
Awana is built
on strong leadership.
