Awana is a place where your kids can learn about the Bible, meet new friends, and have lots of fun.

Parking
To increase children’s safety, especially during the winter season, we block off the full lower parking lot directly across from the chapel with pylons/ropes to prevent children from having to cross the main drive. Parents/guardians are asked to please drive all the way up the hill without stopping at the main entrance, and to park in either the lot at the back or along the edge of the line of trees. Parents/guardians with Cubbies or Sparks must escort their child(ren) along the sidewalk to the front foyer for drop-off and pick-up. All volunteers who do not have young children in the program are asked to park in the upper parking lot. Please respect those who have mobility issues and keep all reserved accessibility parking spaces free for those with a valid permit. Please consider backing into your parking spot so that you have a better view of all children when leaving.
Cancellation Protocol
In the event of severe weather and/or road condition concerns, the leadership will gather information during the day and a final decision will be made at 4:00pm as to whether or not club will run. Please note that cancellation of some/all school buses in our area does not necessarily mean that our club will be cancelled. If club is cancelled, your family will receive an email and phone call from your child's Director shortly after 4:00pm. If you haven’t been contacted, club will run as usual and it will be at the parent’s discretion whether to attend.
