Vision:
Our vision is to utilize dance to
minister unto the saved and unsaved
that they may be delivered from
their bondage, tear down
strongholds, and provide a holy
dance , opening the doors for
praise and worship. Our goal is to
open the eyes of all people and show
them it is acceptable to praise God
openly and boldly and not be
ashamed. We are here to usher in the
Holy Spirit; His presence will come
forth so that we maybe healed and
delivered. As “Vessels of His
Praise”, we “Minister” the dance
instead of “Dancing” the
dance. Psalms 30:11-12
Spiritual Purpose:
Dance is used throughout the
scriptures and history to worship
God. It is found in celebration,
praise, and spiritual warfare. It
was created by God for the purpose
of glorifying Him. God desires our
worship and our praise. He wants our
mourning turned into dancing.
Dance is directed to God and is seen
as a visual means of leading others
into a deeper relationship with Him.
Dance is an outward expression of
the inward covenanted relationship
with our Father, Jesus, and the Holy
Spirit.
Scriptures That Anchor Our Ministry:
Ecclesiastes 3:1,4
“There is a time for everything, and
a season for every activity under
heaven:
-
a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn
and a time to dance.”
1 Peter 4: 10-11
“Each one should use whatever gift
he has received to serve others,
faithfully administering God’s grace
n its various forms. If anyone
speaks, he should do it as one
speaking the very words of God. If
anyone serves, he should do it with
the strength God provides, so that
in all things God may be praised
through Jesus Christ. To Him be the
glory and the power for ever and
ever.”
Jeremiah 31:13 “Then
maidens will dance and be glad,
young men and old as well. I will
turn their mourning into gladness; I
will give them comfort and joy
instead of sorrow.”
