​EVENTS & TRAINING

Awana Ministry Conference 2017​
Too often, we let the world tell us who we are.
But as leaders, we know that our identity and value comes from God.
He has NAMED us and tells us who we are.
​This is an essential foundation for leaders as we seek to point kids to their own identity in Christ.

Join us at the 2017 Awana Ministry Conference
 for personal growth, inspiration and practical ideas to empower us in reaching more kids for Christ.
