Awana Programming
5:45pm | Sundays | ages 3*-Grade 5
Awana is a fun-filled, Bible-based discipleship program for kids ages 3-5th grade. Through small group, relationship-based ministry, our kids learn scripture and spiritual truths that encourage them to know and love Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Families are an integral part of discipleship, and Awana is built on a partnership between the church and the home. In addition to the discipleship taking place at Awana on Sunday evenings, children will use their Awana handbooks to read and apply scripture at home throughout the week. Children must be potty-trained to attend Awana.
*Age as of 9/30/24. Children must be potty trained to participate in evening programming.
NOTE: As of July 31, registration for children receiving GROW Special Needs 1:1 support is now full. Interested families will need to contact Ashley Jones (ajones@mountvernon.church) to join a waitlist for Awana registration with GROW support.

Parent & Child Dedication
The opportunity to present your child for dedication to Christ and the church. During either our 9 am or 10:30 am worship services, Parent-Child Dedication is a beautiful act of giving back to God what He has graciously given you. It’s an act of worship, thanksgiving, and commitment, where parents publicly dedicate their children to the Lord and commit to raising them in a godly home.
