In the DC Metro area, there are limited spaces for young people, especially under the age of 18 to perform and practice this music. For a long time, churches have been an important part of supporting young people and providing safe spaces for them to grow and share their gifts. Churches have also had in important role in the life of many artists as being a space where they can perform and share their music with the community and beyond.

In that Spirit, SHUMC has started the Teen Music Initiative, in partnership with Hot Mic’d Punks, we provide a concert venue and practice space for teen bands and solo artists of all genres, especially groups that write original songs and are looking for spaces to share their talent.

Your donations will help us to continue this important work. They allow us to purchase and maintain our musical and sound equipment, and the space where our musicians practice and perform.
