Meet David and Brian

David Leuschner

David Leuschner has over 25 years of experience in the Audio, Video and Lighting world. David’s career includes working with many Christian artists, such as Chris Tomlin, Kari Jobe, and others, as well as TV networks and political coverage. He’s also worked with Universal Studios, Neiman Marcus, Girl Scouts of America, TBN, Daystar and many more.

From 2006 to 2017 David served as the Senior Director of Technical Arts and Technology at Gateway Church in Dallas, Texas.

During his time there, David built out all of Gateway’s Audio, Video, Lighting, Web and Streaming systems.

Now, his main experience is with helping churches organize their tech areas into departments prepared to minister and worship with their God-given talents through Digital Great Commission Ministries.
