AWANA is a non-denominational, evangelical, Bible-based club for kids ages 3 thru 12. The local Dubuque club is supported by several churches in Dubuque, including Asbury Community Chapel and Arbor Oaks Bible Chapel. It is supported by many students and staff of Emmaus Bible College.
It meets Thursday evenings from 6:15-8 pm. Children may start checking in at 6 pm.
WE BELIEVE that the Bible is God's Word, telling us of His love for sinful mankind as shown in the gift of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Through faith in Christ, anyone can be saved from judgement and receive eternal life (Holy Bible - John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8, Romans 10:9, and many more - The full official AWANA doctrinal statement can be found at www.awana.org ). We teach Bible basics and a love for Bible study, and strongly encourage children to attend a local church faithfully, besides reading and studying the Bible on their own or with their family. We teach young people to compare any teaching they hear to what the Bible says.
Most of the children's leaders are students or staff of Emmaus Bible College. Some are elementary education students, while others are studying Bible, Youth ministries, Music, Intercultural studies, or Computer Information Systems. Many have grown up in the AWANA program and are dedicated to reaching children with the gospel.
