Puggles recognizes the learning ability of 2 1/2 to 3 year olds by introducing biblical precepts and equipping parents to teach them at home. Toddlers love having their very own Awana club just like their older siblings.  

In Puggles, children are welcomed each week with play time, songs and simple crafts and activities. Leaders present age-appropriate lessons using large, colorful teaching cards, finger puppet plays and more. Lessons teach and reinforce four basic biblical precepts:
God Made Everything
God Saw That It Was Good
God is Love
Give Thanks

Participating in Puggles will give your child a head start on the path to loving and following God for life.

Cubbies celebrates the spiritual 

potential of preschoolers by helping them develop respect for God, His Son, and His Word. 

Preschoolers can hardly wait for their next Cubbies club meeting. Whether it's the fun puppets, the exciting games or all their "Cubbies friends," they simply love it. At Story Time each week, preschoolers learn about God – the greatness of His love and His Word – and about His Son, Jesus Christ, the promised Savior. Non-competitive games build excitement and reinforce Story Time lesson themes.

Cubbies helps you lead your child to God early so she will respect and trust Him for life.

Sparks ignites the curiosity of early elementary-age kids to learn about the people and events of the Bible,    building a foundation of wisdom for   knowing Christ. 

To many children in kindergarten to second grade, Sparks is the highlight of the week! They love their red vests, the exciting games and spending time with leaders and friends.

Each year, Sparks clubbers:
• explore the biographies of people of the     
    Bible from a new portion of Scripture
• memorize Bible verses
• complete handbook activities
The handbooks, combined with Large Group Time lessons, take your child on a journey through the entire Bible!  As the children take a step deeper into God’s Word, unsaved boys and girls will have regular opportunities to hear the gospel and come to faith in Jesus Christ!

T&T engages third- through fifth-graders by answering their questions about God and the Bible, guiding them through this pivotal life stage to grow in Christ's grace. 

Handbooks and large-group lessons deepen a child's knowledge about God and His Word and teach how to put that knowledge into action in everyday life.   Along with intense Scripture memory, there’s application of Scripture to daily life and a focus on
missions.

The clubs are designed to help kids stay plugged into T&T as they move into the preteen years and
continue growing in their
relationship with Christ.
