Barbara Johnston, Sparks Director

Hello!

I have been teaching children for over 20 years and am currently a teacher for elementary aged children.  I look forward to the fun of working with the kids and seeing them hide God's word in their hearts as we review scripture during handbook time.  I really enjoy dressing up for theme nights and always love seeing the childrens creativity bloom! I look forward to working with your children during our AWANA club time.

Todd Christ, TnT Director

Hello!

I have been working in children's ministry for over 20 years. Working with kids and figuring out a way of learning that connects with them brings me so much joy. No matter how rough of a day I've had it all melts away when I see our AWANA clubbers. Kids have such a desire to learn and amazement that we often forget as adults.

Special needs kids are some of my favorite to work with as their reactions are so genuine and each one is unique.  I look forward to AWANA every year and enjoy watching the kids learn and grow in Christ.

Doug Johnston, AWANA Commander

Hello!

I am a firm believer that children should be guided by Gods word as early as possible.  The AWANA program is a great way to get children involved in scripture, while also having fun.  I look forward to leading your children through scripture during our counsel time. See you at AWANA!

Brie Christ, Secretary

Hello!

I've been working with children for over 30 years from nannying, to Sunday School, to my own children (3 of them). Kids are always a treat to work with at AWANA as their excitement to learn and make new friends is a constant source of joy. When a child is having an 'off' day (as we all do!) my approach is patience and understanding.  If a child is simply not able to enjoy their time, our last resort is a call home.  This is because in my experience it usually just takes a little extra focus and effort for an 'off' day to quickly become the 'best' day.  My approach with AWANA is to help children understand the basics, without overly stressing complex ideas. I look forward to meeting you and your family!
