I would love to offer Awanas in my church, but we do not baptize by immersion. I grew up Baptist, was a Children's Minister in our previous church (Baptist), but I am now Lutheran.

That program (as I understand it) wouldn’t fly in a Primitive Baptist Church.

That is true in the Old School one I grew up in, the children were never separated from their parents... But put Progressive in front of it and you got to keep up with the Joneses... Brother Glen:)

Progressive has become a very dirty word for me.

Does your church have an AWANA program and what have YOU done to improve your program over the years.
I got a call last night asking me to give up my Director spot in Cubbies (2 years) and be Co-Commander for grades K- 2. I'd worked with Sparks for 3 or 4 years before switching to Cubbies.
We're switching to 2 time periods each week with the children only having game time once a month or every 3 weeks. Our AWANA program runs from 6:30 to 7:40, during prayer meeting.
Any suggestions or tips I can share when we have our leadership meeting a week from Saturday? I've attended 7 different AWANA sponsored trainings at least! We've only had 5 or 6 from our church attend except when we had a specific style training at our church and then only a handful attended. The old commander didn't even come!
BTW, we have a wonderful AWANA Missionary couple.

You take away game time and your interest will dwindle.

I wouldn't fly in a Primitive Baptist church either. I fly right by them though.

Many military bases - both CONUS and Overseas have AWANA!
I used to drive about 70 miles from Wildflecken to Frankfurt to take my son to AWANA!
