T & T

SPARKS is the AWANA club for children in kindergarten through second grade. The aim of SPARKS is to take youngsters a step deeper into God’s Word while giving unsaved boys and girls regular opportunities to hear the gospel and come to faith in Jesus Christ. After being immersed in solid foundational teaching at the preschool level, boys and girls frequently come to an understanding of their need to trust Christ as their personal Savior while in SPARKS. Each club session is divided into three segments. During Green Meadow Time, Sparkies gather for their Bible lesson. During Sparkle Time, clubbers complete handbook sections. In Game Time, sparkies enjoy games played on the AWANA Game Circle. Sparky, the friendly firefly, appears throughout the Bible-based materials to encourage clubbers to complete their handbook achievements, First-time clubbers start with the Sparks Gate Entrance booklet. It is a full-color, six-page booklet, that includes the Sparks key verse, motto, theme song, and pledge to the American and AWANA flags.

There are three levels of achievement, or ranks, in Sparks. They are Skipper, Hiker and Climber and are designed for the clubbers to finish one level for each of the three years they are in Sparks.

The Sparks program is firmly grounded in Scripture. The three handbooks feature:

Basic truths about God, Jesus Christ, salvation and the Bible
An increased emphasis on Scripture memory over our preschool materials.
In three years, a child will learn and review 68 verses, many of which cover salvation and key Christian doctrine
Clear and consistent presentation of the gospel message

Fun + learning = results

Sparks club meetings combine learning with fun to create an atmosphere of irresistible excitement for churched and unchurched kids alike. Club meetings are divided into three segments:

Bible teaching, worship, award presentations and the gospel message
Small group interaction and completion of Bible-based lessons
Age-appropriate games on the AWANA game circle
