David Crowder Band is a 6-piece electronic rock / worship band from Waco, Texas.

The band began as a result of David Crowder realizing that almost half of his fellow students at Baylor University, Texas were not attending church, which he found surprising given that it was a Christian college. He and Chris Seay started a church, University Baptist Church in 1996 while he was still a student. Crowder led worship there and continues to lead worship there throughout the year. The church's congregation grew, as did the band's lineup. Tragically, his pastor of seven years, Kyle Lake, was electrocuted in the baptistry while performing a baptism (while handling a partially submerged microphone) during the Sunday morning service of October 30, 2005. He was taken to a nearby hospital and later died.
