How to Get your pastor and church board to love your club<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Keep your pastor informed about what is happening in club, Especially celebrate the victories. It is the responsibility of the commander to keep the lines of communication open<\/li>\n
  2. Lead clubbers to Christ. Effective evangelism invigorates the whole Body of CHrist. He loves hearing about salvation decisions in the church he shepherds.<\/li>\n
  3. Involve Pastor, Associates, and Board members in club at least twice a year. Tag them each to a leader and let them watch your leaders minister to the clubbers.<\/li>\n
  4. Involve Pastor in recruitment selection. Give Pastor unquestioned veto power over a person you would like to recruit.<\/li>\n
  5. Keep the church\u2019s Prayer Warriors informed about the needs of club and the clubbers first names and age. They would love to pray about your club and for your clubbers.<\/li>\n
  6. Pastor\/Commander develop\/coordinate adult ministries for clubnight. Bible Studies for dad and mom fit real well with the goals of Awana<\/li>\n
  7. Train pastor and Board about policies of your Awana Club. People who disagree with club policies often try end runs to the highest authority they can gripe to.<\/li>\n
  8. Ask pastor to involve a leader\u2019s testimony about ministering in Awana or leading a clubber to Christ (no clubber\u2019s names) in a Sunday Service. Two or three times a year would be great.<\/li>\n
  9. Encourage Pastor and Associates to attend an Awana Basic \u00a0Training.<\/li>\n
  10. Give Pastor and outreach teams access to the new families\/clubbers registration data for follow-up and\/or evangelism.<\/li>\n
  11. Involve Pastor in setting goals for next club year and reviewing evaluation of club at year\u2019s end. Keep him informed<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \n
    1. If possible be visible before and after club. It is a great time to meet family members nad visitors.<\/li>\n
    2. Involve Sunday\u2019s congregation in praise for the good things that happen in club (do not use children\u2019s name). Also, involve them in prayer about the needs of Awana club.<\/li>\n
    3. Do NOT allow end runs.<\/li>\n
    4. Don\u2019t use the Board for issues until after you and the commander have talked and prayed about the issues.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
