AWANA

AWANA is a tool we use to sink Scripture into the hearts and minds of our kids, here at the NDCBF. We think one of the most important gifts we can give to the next generation is a deep and lasting knowledge of God's Word, and AWANA is designed to work with parents in cultivating that in the lives of our kids through an exciting, weekly experience where fun and learning go hand in hand.
