David Ryan, Minister of Music
David considers himself to have gotten a late start in music. At the age of 14 he heard a new Pianist (Bill Thompson) play at his church for the first time. It was then David knew deep in his heart that he wanted to learn to play the Piano. A year after hearing Mr. Thompson play at church, Mr. Thompson unfortunately had a heart attack. As providence would have it, David stepped up to the task and became the churches new pianist—and he has been playing in various churches ever since. David has taught Piano lesson for many years and founded a Gospel Quartet called “All Four Him.”
David’s consummate desire is to see his musical gifts used for the glory of God. David is known for his ability to play traditional hymns with his own stylistic flare and vibrancy. In the past few years David has also begun to play the guitar which he hopes to also utilize in worship at Westgate. David has a CDL License and drives a Tractor Trailer which was a desire he possessed since second grade. David currently lives in Cochranville, Chester County, but hopes to return to living in Lancaster County in the future.
