Sunday Session: Youth Music Hang
Every 3rd Sunday of the month (beginning Sep. 20th)
Sunday Session: Youth Music Hang is a relaxed, drop‑in space for teens ages 12 - 18 to play, sing, and create together - no experience needed.
Bring an instrument, a friend, or just yourself and jump into a mix of sacred and secular tunes with other music lovers. We'll meet on the third Sunday of the month, beginning September 20th from 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

What does St. David's Music include?
Choir
Our Choir rehearses weekly on Thursday evenings, as well as on Sunday mornings. We work to create an environment where everyone has access to musical expression and education. Our choir learns healthy and sustainable vocal technique which helps them to seamlessly move between styles - from Bach to Stevie Wonder!
Band
Our Praise Band currently includes piano, bass, guitar, drums, harmonica, and organ. Choir members often play auxiliary percussion as well. The band rehearses on Sunday mornings before the service.
Special Music
On holidays (and as often as possible!) we include featured musicians to enhance our musical ministry. We collaborate with local artists to bring diverse sounds and experiences into worship.
We also host a variety of musical events in our space. If you're interested in using our space, click here.
