AWANA

Awana is a nondenominational ministry that assists churches in reaching children and teenagers with the gospel of Jesus Christ and training them to serve Him. AWANA Clubs International supplies programs, materials and training for more than 110 countries. Their message to churches is simple: We're here to serve you with a ministry that is all about fun with a purpose --- to win and grow kids for Christ!

Reaching our young people is very important. Did you know that 85% of all people who do not accept Jesus Christ by the age of 18 never will?

Thats why AWANA offers a series of clubs and programs geared to the needs of a particular age or grade. As a vital part of our local church ministry, AWANA clubs and programs effectively reach young people with the good news of Jesus Christ.

Here at Wea Ridge Baptist Church, our AWANA ministry works with other ministries to give our children and youth a well-balanced emphasis on knowing Jesus and how we can live for Him and serve Him.

It Shouldn't Hurt To Be A Child

CASA

Court Appointed Special Advocate

.

Concerned over making decisions about abused and neglected children's lives without sufficient information, a Seattle judge conceived the idea of using trained community volunteers to speak for the best interests of these children in court. So successful was this Seattle program that soon judges across the country began utilizing citizen advocates. In 1990, the U.S. Congress encouraged the expansion of CASA with passage of the Victims of Child Abuse Act. Today more than 900 CASA programs are in operation, with 70,000 women and men serving as CASA volunteers. CASA is an acronym for

Court Appointed Special Advocate.
