Awana helps churches and parents work together to develop spiritually strong children and youth who faithfully follow Jesus Christ. The Awana programs offer proven approach for evangelising and instilling disciple in children in the church and community. The KIBC Awana Club is facilitated by a team of KIBC member- volunteers from all walks of life prayerfully ministering to our younger generations.

Awana is a ministry that focuses on the family. Parents are expected to be involved in their children’s progress as they assist the little ones to grow spiritually. As these children become young adults many would return to Awana once more but this time as Student Leaders. The whole ministry engages us as fellow workers of Christ, it encourage us to grow and to serve.

Having said that, parents should know that Awana is NOT a babysitting service and parents’ involvement is paramount and expected.

HKD1,000 (Payment should be made by check [Payable to Kowloon International Baptist Church]. The annual fee includes the cost of uniform and handbook, where applicable. Parents will be charged if replacement of uniform and handbook is required.) No DONATION receipt will be issued as this does not qualify as a charitable donation.

Should KIBC Awana for any reason not able to offer your child a spot in the said year the HKD1,000, if already paid and received by the KIBC Awana Secretary, will be fully refunded. Please return the official receipt to claim the refund. There will not be a refund if your child chooses to drop out of the program or is requested to withdraw due to behavioural problems during the year.

Further, for those Clubbers who join after the official start of the KIBC Awana year, the full HKD1,000 will be payable.

Official registration: 12 June-31 July 2021, application will also be accepted throughout the year.

Please complete and submit the online Form. Someone will be in touch with you, at which point an interview may be scheduled. Once your child has been given a spot please confirm your acceptance within 7 days of the notification and pay the HKD1,000 fee on the first day of Club which is tentatively scheduled on 18 September 2021. Please note that, if the HKSAR Education Bureau’s guidance for opening of school is pushed beyond our start date, KIBC Awana will adhere to the Bureau and KIBC’s guidance/arrangement. Please understand that spaces are limited. As such, available spots are given on a first come, first served basis condition on the interviewing process.

Please also note that you are free to register your child into KIBC Awana throughout the year even after the official registration dates. As this is not a school program, children are welcome to join at any stage during the year given that there are available spaces and they pass the interview process.

Please be informed that pictures and video clips taken during any and all Awana sessions maybe used for KIBC Awana and KIBC promotional purposes. In applying for our KIBC Awana program you are giving consent to that fact.

On Club days, the Club will run from 9:00am to 11:00am. Please arrive no later than 8:55am for the Flag ceremony which will start promptly at 9:00am. Those who arrive later than 9:00am will be considered late. As the Club finishes at 11:00am, we would request that parents/guardians be at the church for pick up no later than 10:55am. No supervision will be given before 9:00am and after 11:00am. If you are unable to arrive on time to pick up your child, please inform our child’s Directors no later than 10:30am on that Club day.

Parents/guardians of Cubbies and Sparks are required to stay with their children through the Flag ceremony and also personally escorted their children to their respective classrooms. When dropping off your child, please make sure you see them to their respective classes (for Cubbies and Sparks), and obtain a pickup card (for Cubbies, Sparks and T&T) from the Leaders which is to be returned upon picking up your child. Clubbers will not be released to siblings for safety reasons.

KIBC building:- Basement of 300 Junction Road, Kowloon Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong (If there is ever a change in venue, prior notice will be given.)

There will be no Clubs for most school holidays and public holidays falling on any of the said Saturdays. KIBC Awana has full discretion to alter any Club dates and is not restricted to hosting any given number of Clubs each year.

To ensure that your child gets the most out of KIBC Awana, we require that Clubbers not be absent from Club for more than 20% of each Club year; unless it is due to sickness or emergencies. Please note that, birthday parties, sports events, family vacations, school activities (unless mandatory) will not be treated as emergencies. Clubbers who are absent for more than the allowed 20% will be asked to relinquish their places in our Awana program and no refund will be given.

For Clubbers who are being promoted to the next Club, uniform and Handbook will be available once they complete their entrance booklet. As before, uniform, Bible and handbook are required for each Club. Forgetting any one of the three items will be considered not completely equipped for Club.

Clubbers who are persistently ill prepared (suggested amount of sections not prepared at home) for Club will be referred to the Commander where the situation will be assessed. Parents maybe asked to address the issue together. If no improvement is seen due to lack of interest of deliberate non-compliance, the Clubber will be asked to relinquish his/her spot in the KIBC Awana with no refund offered.

Discipline is on a positive basis with rewards and points given for good behaviour. It is essential that parents understand that their children will be taught to respect rules and others in a godly manner and that they should help to instill in their children the need to obey and comply with the instructions of their Leaders in the Lord.

"Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it." (Proverbs 22:6).
"For God is not a God of disorder but of peace--as in all the congregations of the Lord's people." (1 Corinthians 14:33).

In a group setting, when a group of Clubbers become rowdy, Leaders will perform a ‘5-count’. At the end of the count of five all Clubbers should be still and direct their attention to their Leaders-no Clubbers may participate in the counting without exception.

For individual Clubbers, if a Clubber will not cooperate, a ‘3-count’ is given by the Leaders. A Clubber is first given a “one.” If this “one” count is repeated 3 times during a 30 day period, the parents will be called to come pick him/her up from Club immediately and maybe asked to not attend Club for two weeks. A Clubber will not be allowed to return to Club unless they agree to obey.

To encourage undivided attention during Club time, we ask that Clubbers not bring any toys or entertainment/ electronic gadgets to Club. Mobile phones should be kept in their bag during Club time.

Clubbers will be sent to the Commander if they are not compliant, parents may be asked to meet with the Commander to assist in the matter. If behavioural problem persist the Clubber will be asked to withdraw and no refund will be given.

Please note that disruptive behaviours not only hinder Clubbers from reaping the benefit of the Awana program but detract others. As such, non-compliance is a very serious matter and will be addressed promptly.

If Typhoon Signal No. 3/Red Rainstorm Warning, or higher, are lowered at or before 7:00am on Saturday, Awana will be held as usual. Please check the Hong Kong Observatory frequently for those occasions.

Our church does not have dedicated parking; there are a few meter parking right outside our building. However, these are usually occupied. We strongly suggest parents do not illegal or double-park as this will cause inconvenience to other road users and police do frequent the area. There are two parking lots in the vicinity, please use those instead of parking outside the Church.

Clubbers with symptoms of any infectious diseases should refrain from attending Club. Please notify your Director immediately. Clubbers who arrived at Club with symptoms of infectious diseases will be sent home immediately. Parents/guardians who have left will be asked to return to pick up their child. As such, please refrain from joining if the following applies (list as a reference and does not contain every type of symptoms):
+ has been on antibiotics for less than 24 hours prior to the beginning of Club; or
+ fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, questionable rash, open sores, excessive coughing, sore throat, greenish yellow phlegm, discharge in the eyes, pink eyes, head lice.

All comments, suggestions and cases of children behavioural issues are to be reported to the Commander of the Club, as the Commander is responsible for the whole KIBC Awana Club and reports to the Church directly.
