God’s Children Great talent (GCGT) is Africa’s Biggest Youth Talent Competition. An initiative by City of David Parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God that continues to identify and celebrate talents in children and young adults from age 5 to 20 years.
As early as 6am on April 28 2017, individuals with various talents from the Lagos region stormed Ultima Studios in Lekki to showcase their innate gifts before the scouts. The contestants hoped for a chance to be selected into the regional competition and become winner of GCGT season 7 during the finals holding in June.

The incredible level of talent displayed by the contestants showed resounding dedication, passion and true commitment, as the regional GCGT scouts were held spell bound.
