Background

SAM was developed to offer high-quality music and arts education to Sacramento children, regardless of their ability to pay. This ministry was a very big and very bold step for us in 2008, but God has been blessing and preparing us for a long time. 

In 2009, the number of participants in the program doubled. In 2010, out of 100 participants, half were children and youth, who starred in an end-of-session production called Create! 

We are praying for guidance to pursue our dream of a year-round program for youth and families. Please consider joining us on our journey.
