Worship Leader Pledge Campaign
Will you pledge to make a difference?
Our mission at SCC is to know Christ and make Him known. This is how God makes a difference in us so we can make a difference in the world. An aspect of our strategy for accomplishing our mission is to transform our worship for a greater experience. We are incredibly grateful for our worship ministers who sacrifice their time, talent, and treasure to lead us each Sunday. However, we are ready to take things to the next level. Will you join us?
If each family in our Church gave just $10 / week we could fundraise our worship leader staff position. Some may be able to afford more while some may be able to afford less (or even not at all). If you are unable to give, will you pledge to pray every day that God will send us the right person and help us raise the funds for this position?
