Raising giant killers
This is Us
David's Army is the teenage expression of David's Christian Centre: a gathering of teenagers in a safe space where they can experience the love of God free of condemnation, and in turn express their love for God.
A gathering of teenagers in a safe space where they can experience the love of God free of condemnation, and in turn express their love for God.
We exist to raise giant slayers who are on fire for God in every area of their lives. A giant killer takes on challenges bigger than themselves and lives victorious because of their relationship with God.
Vision
To raise giant slayers who are on fire for God in every area of their lives. A giant killer takes on challenges bigger than themselves and lives victorious because of their relationship with God.
Mission
We deliberately pursue the five purposes of a healthy church: worship, ministry, evangelism, fellowship, and discipleship (Matt 22:35-40, Mark 12:28-34, Matt 28:18-20) through our meetings and activities.
A Giant Killer
Five things, and the word they spell. This is the measure David's Army holds itself to.
Spreads Jesus
Lives right
is Authentic
is Yielded
Slays giants

The Adults: Volunteers, Colonels, Generals
Adults serve teens as Volunteers for an initial season of about three months, then commit fully and are appointed Colonel. The highest leadership level is General, and all adult volunteers in David's Army are affectionately known as Generals. They teach, mentor, coordinate service Sundays, and walk with teens through every season.
Meet the GeneralsWords You'll Hear on a Sunday
- On Point
- The responsibility assigned to a General to monitor and coordinate the flow of service on a designated Sunday.
- BOS (Breakout Session)
- A smaller-group teaching session designed to encourage interaction and participation among the teens, grouped by platoon or selected randomly by number.
- Charge
- A short wrap-up that typically follows a BOS, summarising and reinforcing what was taught during the breakout sessions.
Part of something bigger
David's Army is the teenage expression of David's Christian Centre. The wider church, the adult services and everything else it runs live on the main church site.
