“…Praise Him with the timbrel and dance; Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes.” - Psalm 150:1-4
“They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.” - Job 21:11

Liturgical dance—like prayer, music, and preaching—is an integral part of the worship service. In its highest form, liturgical dance is like a silver thread woven into the fabric of worship. The most effective use of liturgical dance is to illuminate the scriptures by bringing to life the stories of the bible, the messages within our music, and to celebrate the Holy days of the church.
The mission of the Liturgical Dance Ministry is to assist those youth feeling a call to dance, to investigate and define their calling. This includes providing education, training, and support in an environment where dance is accepted and welcomed as part of the worship experience. The youth experience the act of ministry, as they become ministers of the Gospel of Jesus the Christ.
The purpose of this Ministry is:
- to glorify God in praise and worship through dance;
- to demonstrate that this generation is fully in tune with the reality of God’s love for them;
- to teach our young people that God is able and willing to use anyone or any means to reach out to them and meet them where they are;
- to provide a visual interpretation of what God is doing and saying in the worship service by ushering the congregation into a higher realm of praise and worship; and
- to provide the education, training, and experience in the use of dance for “spiritual warfare” and “ministry” versus “secular” dancing and “performing” for entertainment.
