ABOUT THE DAVID MOVEMENT
The David Movement exists to pursue the heart of God and glorify Him through extravagant worship and creative evangelism.
This is achieved through leading dance and worship workshops in different churches and groups to release freedom, encourage creativity, and help people to encounter God in fresh and transformative ways.
We also facilitate regular creative evangelism opportunities, using dancing and music to create spaces in our local towns and cities where people can encounter Jesus and experience His freedom.
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.
VALUES
Kingdom Focus
We are committed to the advancement of God’s kingdom that goes beyond any one person or one lifetime through intentionally seeking the heart of God and moving boldly in alignment with His timing and direction.
Extravagant Creativity
Creative gifts can be used to glorify God and as a language to communicate the gospel in fresh, innovative ways, helping people to hear and understand the truth of Jesus and encounter God for themselves.
Limitless Freedom
There is more. Full freedom is possible in Jesus Christ and accessible to all. In God’s boundless kingdom, we live with expectancy and hunger, stepping boldly into our full potential in Christ.
