Junior Church is for children aged 4-years old through 10-years-old and is held at the same time as our regular Sunday morning preaching service from 11:00 A.M. until noon. Nathan and Nicole Brackett are the leaders.

The aim of Junior Church is to get the boys and girls to come to know Jesus Christ as their Saviour and then to grow in Him. Services are taught using a variety of youth-oriented tools such as songs, object lessons, puppets, balloons, and skits.

Every Sunday, a chapter from the Bible is acted out using props with various members of the group. Time permitting, the service usually includes a Bible review game between the boys and the girls where Bible questions are asked of each group with points scored.

The name "Awana" is an acronym for "Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed" referring to 2 Timothy 2:15 "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be a shamed, rightly dividing the word of truth".

The Awana Clubs are offered to our youth from preschool through the 6th grade. It meets in our Family Life Center each Wednesday night from 7:00 P.M. until 8:15 P.M. September through May.

At Gantt Street Baptist Church we offer several different Awana programs: Cubbies, Sparks, Truth and Training. Each of these groups are geared to present the gospel of Jesus Christ in an age appropriate manner through a Bible lesson, home study, daily quite time and scripture memory. In addition to the classroom, there is an exciting game time in our gym.

Cubbies is the Awana Club for preschoolers during the two years prior to regular kindergarten. This includes 3 and 4-year-olds. Must be 3 years old by September 1 of the current year.

Sparks is the Awana Club for kindergartners, 1st graders, and 2nd graders.

Truth and Training (T&T) is the Awana club for boys and girls who are in the 3rd through the 6th grade.
