Daniel Fraats

Worship Leader

Daniel grew up at Calvary since he and his family moved to Vandenberg Air Force Base in 2001. He was involved in music all throughout his educational career, and decided to venture to Santa Barbara to attend Westmont College and further pursue music. He graduated in 2016 with his Bachelor's Degree in Music Education, and spent a year in Santa Barbara doing various jobs, both musically and non-music related, before being called back home to Lompoc to serve in the music ministry at Calvary. He enjoys seeing how music can move a community to worship God.  Because he sees the impact that music has on young people, he has also been volunteering some of his time with the youth ministry at Calvary.
