Recordkeeping Software

There are several software packages available today to help you administer your Awana club. The purpose of this information is not to promote one product over another, but to give you a place to compare the various software products available. In a brief survey, I discovered that most Awana clubs found one software option and began to use it, not comparing it to other products to see which one would best meet their need. While the products are similar in nature (they are all designed for Awana recordkeeping), we encourage you to evaluate various products and see what it the best for your club. Information displayed is from the software manufacturer and I want to thank all of them for their time in helping me compile this information. (The software is listed in no particular order)

The Approved Workman database software is designed to help club secretaries reduce their record-keeping burden, and to help leaders spend more of their precious time in ministry to kids instead of completing paperwork.

The database lets you easily transition from an inefficient paper-based record-keeping system to a streamlined program on a laptop or desktop computer. You will be able to perform vital tasks more easily, quickly, accurately, and in less time than you currently spend. You will be able to view, analyze, and work with your data in ways that would be nearly impossible with paper records.

The Awana RecordKeeping software (ARK) is a program originally designed for use in the author's home church. As people began asking for copies of the program, a website was developed to make it available to more people. Since then, refinements have been added and more are planned, as time permits. Many useful suggestions have been received from users of the program. As time permits, documentation is being added to help you in downloading and using the program. Hopefully, it will prove a blessing to you and your Awana group.
