David Papanagis

I started leading worship when I was 18 years old in my local church in Athens Greece as a lay worship leader. I have been writing Greek worship songs since then for my church, which has also been used by other churches. During the past 20 years, I also had the joy to lead worship at Christian conferences, student ministry events, worship events, etc. During my college years, I was involved with student ministry as team leader and I have also worked with serving unaccompanied refugee minors for four years. The last 10 years, my family and I have participated in church planting efforts in Athens and 7 years ago we joined Kypseli Church. About five years ago my pastor and I discussed the idea of establishing a worship network in Athens that can reach out to musicians and lay worship leaders in Greece and support churches through the worship ministry. I have been leading this effort the last four years, working closely with younger musicians and worship leaders, providing training and mentorship in the wider Evangelical family. I am currently the only full-time worship leader in Greece, hoping to see many more worship ministers serving churches in the future, so that the whole body will benefit and be more welcoming to newcomers!
