What is an Awana Ministry Conference?

This year, the Awana Ministry Conference focuses on service — building pastors, children's ministry workers, youth leaders and parents into more powerful servants. In one day, we will ignite a passion for ministry with a variety of practical workshops. Choose the ones that are most relevant to you. You will immediately use the skills you learn to reach kids and teens with the gospel.

Our mission is to help churches and parents worldwide to raise children and youth to know, love and serve Christ. You have a unique role in that mission. Whether it's teaching Sunday School, being an Awana leader or raising a child, the Awana Ministry Conference will encourage and equip you for your important work.

The theme of this year’s Awana Ministry Conference is “BEE: a Servant” In many ways, bees make great ministry partners. Imagine applying the qualities of these hard-working servants in your church or home. The spiritual impact to kids and teens would be as sweet as honey. Join us this year as we learn together how to “Bee: a Servant" in children's and youth ministry.

Awana Missionaries, Tommy & Paula Nash, are pleased to announce that one of the most encouraging, inspiring & motivating speakers of this century will again be speaking & teaching at this year’s Awana Ministry Conference.
Dr. Greg Carlson is Professor of Christian Ministries at Trinity International University. He is an author, family ministry consultant, pastor and seminar leader living in the Chicago area. He is the former Director of Rorheim Institute for Awana. Dr. Carlson will be our keynote speaker and will also be teaching the Sharing Christ with Kids track.

In addition, we are blessed to have Dr. Carlson’s lovely bride Donna with us this year. She is a graduate from Grace University with a Bachelors degree in Religious Education and a minor in music. She has been a women’s Bible study leader and teacher and enjoys mentoring young women. She is currently a seminar instructor for Walk Thru the Bible and will be teaching A Walk Thru the Old Testament Seminar track for us this year.

Walk Thru the Old Testament is without a doubt the world's most popular seminar event. And it's not hard to see why. Audience members are taken on an unforgettable adventure back to the beginning of time. From there, the instructor introduces participants to prominent Bible characters and weaves together their various stories onto one clear timeline. As participants learn about the major people, places, and events of the Old Testament, God's ultimate plan of preparing the world for the coming of Jesus Christ is revealed like never before.

And it is a lot of fun too! Forget tedious note taking. Attendees will learn the material using hand signs, catch phrases, group reviews, and enjoyable interaction with the instructor. Most attendees are usually so moved by the conclusion of Walk Thru the Old Testament, that over eighty percent of them will commit to read their Bibles and pray daily for at least thirty days.

Today, more and more people do not accept the Old Testament as anything more than interesting Bible stories. Today's secular theories dispute much of His truths. Walk Thru the Old Testament introduces people to how the Old Testament links together and ultimately leads to the cross - and rekindles a desire to seek God through daily Bible reading.
