Alyssa Gerold, Director of Music
Led by Alyssa Gerold (vocals, guitar, keyboard), the Rejoice Band has been performing at the 10:30 AM Rejoice Service for several years. Alyssa began as St. David’s Director of Music in just 2021, after serving as Intern to the Music Director in 2020. She also studies at Temple University, where she is working on her Bachelor of Music in Music Education.
The congregation can often be seen clapping and dancing along with the energetic four-piece band. Whether it is an updated version of a standard hymn, a recent Contemporary Christian tune, or even the occasional original song, the Rejoice Service truly is a celebration of God's love.
