DAVID’S TENT UK & US
We CREATE SPACES FOR CHRISTIANS TO SIMPLY GATHER IN UNITY & WORSHIP JESUS
Since 2012 we have hosted an annual 72-hour non-stop worship event where thousands come away to worship Jesus together. We have been stunned by the tangible sense of unity, explosive passion, and vibrant community that has emerged over the years, both at the summer festivals and regional worship nights.
David’s Tent is an independent body comprised of Christians from across many different denominations and church expressions. It is not 'owned' or financed by any particular church stream but is a grass-roots organisation that has grown organically over the years.
It all started in the UK when we began to ask the question, “What would it look like to worship God non-stop like King David did? What would it look like to see a vibrant worship culture where God’s presence is given the highest priority?” What began in the UK is now branching into the US. We believe that Jesus gathering his bride as one to know and love him in unity all across the nations.

OUR BELIEFS
WHY “DAVID’S TENT”
When King David brought the ark of God’s presence back to Jerusalem he set up a special tent of worship in the middle of the city (1 Chron 16). David recognised that God was worthy of extravagant worship and that His presence was worth celebrating. David’s tabernacle hosted over 30 years of day and night worship that was open for the people to come and worship in God’s presence without the separation of the veil. There were no ritual barriers entry and the people could come and participate in worship. We believe this was a prophetic picture of the kind of worship Jesus made a way for on the cross - a people re-united with God pouring out their hearts in response to His love, His kindness and His majesty. The apostle James addressed the council at Jerusalem with the Amos 9 prophecy about the “restoration of David’s fallen tent” (Acts 15). The message he relayed was that because of what Jesus had done, everyone could now come into God’s presence to worship.
Our heart for David’s Tent is not that we would recreate biblical rituals but that we would create a space where everyone is free and welcome to worship in God’s presence. We believe that the culture of worship from David’s tabernacle is being restored - not just in a physical place but in the hearts and lives of everyone who comes and builds the community of worshippers in the UK, California and beyond. Our hope is that people come, get refreshed and return to their churches and communities with the fresh fire of the Holy Spirit empowering us to live out a lifestyle of worship.
