Churches earn the Approved Leaders Plaque by having a minimum of 70% of their leaders in attendance at AMC 2011. Churches are awarded during the General Session.
8. Is childcare provided?
Sorry, no childcare is provided at any Awana events.
9. What types of workshops will be offered?
The Texas Missionaries are still working on finalized the workshops to be offered at AMC 2011. Please check this site later for a more updated list of workshops. There will be workshops that apply to every Awana leader, whether you are a veteran leader or brand-new to Awana! We will re-offer some annual favorites, and plus have many new workshops in each period.
10. Will Basic Training be offered?
While we will have workshops that cover club basics, a full "Basic Training" will not be offered at the Lubbock AMC.
11. What is the difference between AMC and Basic Training?
Basic Training is sounds exactly like the title--Basic Training. This training covers the "fundamentals" of how to run a successful Awana Club. Leaders will learn all the requirements of an Awana Leader, all aspects of the club night (Opening Ceremony, Game Time, Handbook Time, Large Group Time, and Closing), and club discipline.
Awana Ministry Conference is an annual event where Basic Training is offered, as well as many other workshops and a challenging keynote speaker. For many leaders, this is the highlight of their club year!
The Texas Awana Missionaries encourage you to make Awana Ministry Conference an annual event for all your leaders--if you have to pick one thing to attend, this is it! The Texas Missionaries encourage all new leaders to attend Basic Training as they begin to serve as Awana leaders, then about once every three years (especially Commanders and Directors) to stay fresh with club fundamentals.
12. Will there be an offering this year?
Yes, there will be an offering for the Texas Missionaries at AMC 2011. We ask that you prayerfully consider coming prepared to financially support the Texas Awana Missionaries in their ministry serving churches to reach kids and families for Christ.
13. How do we stay current with the latest information?
