Welcome Daniel Mallard
Make sure you get a chance to welcome our new UMYF music leader, Daniel Mallard. Daniel is a Sophomore at UNCC, graduated from North Mecklenburg High School, and helps to lead worship at the Baptist Campus Ministry and on Sunday mornings at Independence Hill Baptist Church in Huntersville. It is easy to see that God has given him an amazing gift for music as he has only been playing and singing a little over a year and a half! Please be in prayer for him as he continues to lead us on Sunday nights AND the Garden City Beach Retreat.
