Sunshine Band Ministry

Who are we?

The Sunshine Band is an auxiliary of the Women's Department of the Church of God in Christ, Inc. It was organized by the founder Bishop Charles H. Mason in 1911 for the purpose of ministering to and nurturing our children ages 12 and under. The first International Sunshine Band President was Mrs. Lydia E. Hinsley. Upon her death the torch was passed to her granddaughter, Dr. Lytia R. Howard who is the current president.

The Sunshine Band currently has chapters across denominational lines is located throughout the United States.

The Sunshine Band is a children's ministry that encompasses ages up to 12 years old. We have three levels of sun shiners: Sunbeams (ages 1-5), Sunrays (ages 6-8) and Illuminators (ages 9-12). Each age group have their own special needs and its our endeavor to meet those needs.

Our Purpose

Our primary focus is to teach and save our children by keeping them involved in meaningful and wholesome activities. We also try to build a partnership between the home and the church to provide a spiritual foundation for each child.
