Dance Ministry

Join us as we praise God, communicate the Gospel, and minister to others through dance.

The Dance Ministry seeks to glorify God through the biblical expression of movement and dance. Just as King David danced before the Lord, we use our bodies as instruments of praise to interpret the Word, express deep emotion, and usher the congregation into a closer encounter with the Holy Spirit. Whether through modern, liturgical, or flags and pageantry, our movement is an offering of our "reasonable service" (Romans 12:1).
