| WHY DO WE WE DANCE IN
CHURCH? |
|
- Many Saints are opposed to dance
because they associate it with secular dancing such as
"unholy" "grinding" "dirty dancing"
"nude dancing." However, the dance belongs to God and is
being restored back into the Body of Christ, where it belongs. God
is the one who turns our despair into dancing. (Psalm 30:11) He is
the one who, as Jeremiah prophesied, calls us to take up our
tambourines and "go forth in the dance of the
merrymakers." (Jeremiah 31:4)
- Acts 2:17 - "In Him, we live,
move and have our being." Those of us that are called into the
ministry of dance would rather use our bodies as instruments of
praise and righteousness than yield them to sin.
- Romans 12:1,2 tells us to present our
bodies as a living sacrifice, by the mercies of God. And, for many
of us in the dance ministry, a transformation takes place in and
through us as we dance. We cannot change, he changes us. He does the
choreography, gives us direction, and sets us free.

Vision for the
Adult Dance Ministry:
To
make His praise Glorious by displaying God's strength and power with
expressive movement, color, synchronicity and excellence.
The Goal:
To interpret the scriptures through dance. Therefore, all
of our songs must be scripturally based.
The Adult Dance Ministry is based on
Psalm 103:29
"Praise the Lord you His angels, you mighty ones who
do His bidding and obey His Word." |

| What Should Happen When We
Dance? |

The Dance Ministry members do not come to church
to "perform," but they are in service to Worship. CLICK

- We should lead people into
Worship,
- Our Dance should bring
liberation to the people of God and to ourselves, and
- Our Dance garments (dresses,
ribbons, etc.) should be representative of the God we serve and
testify to His greatness.
