Why AWANA Matters at Flemings Chapel
For over 150 years, Flemings Chapel has been committed to reaching families with the gospel and raising the next generation to love and follow Christ. AWANA continues that mission by giving children:
- A clear understanding of Scripture

- Tools to grow spiritually—now and for a lifetime
We believe discipleship starts early, and AWANA helps lay the foundation.
