Your Club vs. the "Ideal" Awana Club?
Take the challenge and find out! Each club that participates will be compared to the same 10 standards of Excellence for Awana Clubs (Blue Ribbon Club). Every church that participates will be a winner and will receive a certificate in the Blue, Red, Green or Yellow category. Churches do not compete against each other. Blue Ribbon Clubs will be recognized in the general session during the Awana Ministry Conference in the fall and will receive a nice framed certificate to hang in their church. Red, Green and Yellow Ribbon Clubs will receive their certificate at conference. In addition, there will be tips for Clubs included with each certificate on how the club can improve to be that Blue Ribbon Club! Our goal is to see every church be a Blue Ribbon Club!

Are you up to the Challenge?
Up front, let us tell you that a Blue Ribbon Club will be difficult to achieve, but it is attainable. It will take a total team effort, of both leaders and clubbers, to earn this award. Most churches will start out as a Green or Yellow Club, but as you try our suggestions, we trust you’ll be able to see your club climb to the top. All scoring is based on the material taught in the Rolebooks. Our desire is to help your club be the best it can be so you can impact your community for Christ! Please take the time to participate in the Blue Ribbon program. You will find the survey is short and easy to fill out.
