ABOUT THE DAVID MOVEMENT
The David Movement is all about prioritising extravagant worship that overflows into creative expressions, celebrations and demonstrations where the glory of God is put on display for all to see.
We work primarily with children and young people, creating safe spaces where they can explore, experiment and find their own individual expressions of praise. We believe in empowering the younger generation and releasing them as change makers.
This initiative is inspired by David in the Bible whose leadership was characterised by extravagant creativity and complete dependence on God. He prioritised day and night worship, sought after the heart of God and used his creative gifts to give God all the glory.
