Awana helps churches and parents work together to develop spiritually strong children and youth who faithfully follow Jesus Christ. Our programs offer a proven approach for evangelizing and discipling kids in the church and community. As a ministry leader for over 60 years, Awana is making an impact. A national survey found Awana to be as important to our alumni's spiritual foundation as all other church activities combined.
Our goal is to work together in the love of Christ and to serve our community and world in diverse yet meaningful ways. We seek to operate in the principles and the power that are found in the book of Acts and believe our call is to be a training sending Antioch type church which sounds the gospel at home, regionally, nationally and internationally. We love Jesus and all people who we know he died for that they can have life abundant.

Its complications, caused by iron overload, are crippling and potentially fatal. They are also preventable by early diagnosis and treatment.The goals and activities of the Society are directed to increasing awareness among the Canadian public and the medical community in regard to the importance of early screening for and diagnosis of hemochromatosis, while supporting those affected by it.
