In 2020, David began overseeing Gateway Worship and helped release multiple albums including Atmosphere, Grande y Fiel, and Completely Abandoned. David loves stewarding the teams he oversees and is passionate about serving in altar ministry and connecting with people one-on-one after weekend services.
