Providence Baptist has teamed with Rico Methodist Church to form an Awana club that serves children in the Rico community, age 4 through the 6th grade.   

Awana is an international children's ministry that blends Bible teaching, Scripture memorization, and tons of fun. The name "AWANA" comes from II Timothy 2:15 – Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed.

Additionally, kids can be part of various AWANA activities like the Grand Prix races, where contestants race cars which they’ve designed; AWANA camp-outs, the AWANA Games, and Bible quiz teams. See the Awana Web site.
