VISION

The David Movement is 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.

It 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 and used his creative gifts to give God all the glory.

The David Movement was set up by Mary Swain - a dancer, teacher and writer based in Yorkshire. Mary leads dance and movement sessions to encourage creativity, release freedom, and to draw people into deeper encounter with God. Find out more about workshops below!

“Mary led a wonderful workshop. The children loved it and were fully engaged in all aspects of it.”
