David Meece in Concert

Christian music legend David Meece describes a "tremendous urgency" to "get the Gospel out to as many people as possible."

The renowned musician will be in concert Sunday, March 21, at 7 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church in Peachtree City. His concerts have sold out all over the world, according to a local pastor, the Rev. Matt Hilgaertner.

With record sales in the millions, Meece is the composer of modern-day Christian classics such as "We Are the Reason," "Forgiven," "Unknown Soldier," "Learning to Trust," and "Once in a Lifetime." He composed the Christmas classic "One Small Child" at the age of 14, having begun touring as a concert pianist at age 10.

Meece is a graduate of the Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore, where he was a scholarship student. He says, "Obeying God is where it's at. I am convinced that there has been a tremendous urgency placed upon my life by the Holy Spirit to get the Gospel out to as many people as possible. I've never had this calling in my life before, but I'm convinced of it right now. I'm convinced Jesus is coming back very soon."

Hilgaertner says that "David's ministry has impacted the lives of millions of people worldwide, and his passion for excellence in the field of Contemporary Christian Music continues to leave a powerful legacy for generations to come."

Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door. Tickets may be purchased at The Olive Branch Christian Book Store in Peachtree City, Sonrise Christian Book Store in Fayetteville and The Ark Christian Book Store in Newnan. For more information call Hilgaertner at 770-487-7757.
