Children
We believe that children are not just the church of tomorrow, but the church of today. SCAG values children and invests into their spiritual future through offering quality events throughout the year and valuable training for both children’s ministers and volunteer staff. Through this, we believe that we can teach a new generation of believers about our faith, our rich Pentecostal heritage, and the joy of being a Christ-Follower.
