St David's Memorial Church, Auckland or Kāhui St David's is a music and community centre in Khyber Pass Road, Auckland, New Zealand. The music centre is housed in the historic St David's Memorial Church building. The new purpose of the building is captured by the word "Kāhui" meaning "the gathering". This name also honours the Scottish heritage of the building. It was a Presbyterian Church, and was built as a living memorial to World War One. The full name of the Trust which owns the building is Friends of St David's Trust Kāhui Rangi Pūpū. The te reo Māori name means "gathering the heavenly trumpets", which acknowledges the building's military heritage and musical future.
