What is the Vision of the Dance Ministry? 

The dance ministry exists to unite and empower dancers and "non-dancers" alike for the purposes of glorifying the lord and reaching the lost in a spirit of freedom and excellence. 

Who can be involved in the Dance Ministry? 

ANYONE can be involved - whether you are male or female or have been dancing your whole life or you have never taken a dance class, God loves your worship just the same!

What is Restoration?

Restoration is a time of adoration to the Lord and an outreach to the community. Dance was originally created to be used as a form of creative and expressive worship to the Lord, and we desire to see dance restored back to it's original purpose in our world today. Leaders and students work to capture the heart of God through choreography in a way that can bring restoration, hope, and joy to all involved. Tap, Jazz, Lyrical/ Contemporary, Hip-Hop, and Ballet are examples of styles of dance that have been featured in Restoration!
