AWANA stands for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed and is based on the importance of memorizing verses from the Bible, described in 2 Timothy 2:15, “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.”
AWANA clubs are filled with fun, friendships, learning scripture and Biblical principles, games and other great activities. All PCC child-safety protocols are in place during AWANA

Christian Service Brigade seeks to build up Godly men of today and tomorrow. It’s a multi-year discipleship program designed to give a boy everything he needs to be a man of God. Boys learn real world skills as well as spiritual ones that they can apply throughout their lives.
Weekly meetings involve games, lessons, achievements, and life skills to model and foster biblical manhood.

GEMS Girls’ Club at Portage Community Chapel
Girls in 1st-12th grade and women of all ages
Founded in 1958, GEMS (Girls Everywhere Meeting the Savior) has a heart to see girls everywhere joyfully loving God and others – equipped, motivated, and passionately living out their faith. We provide Biblical answers to the challenges girls face, reminding them they are seen, known, and loved by God.
Each week, girls enjoy gym games, Bible lessons, crafts, and music. Throughout the year, we host special events including: camping trips, service projects, baking days, holiday celebrations, family nights, a Lock-In event, and weekend get-togethers.
We welcome all women of faith – whether you are a mom, grandmother, aunt, sister, or simply someone with a heart for mentoring girls – to join our ministry team. (background check required)
Together, we can help the next generation of girls grow in Christ and shine His light in the world!
