Spirit of Praise Dancers - Ages (13 - Adult)

Chosen Generation Dancers – Ages (5 - 12)

 

MISSION STATEMENT:

   We, the members of the YMT Dance Ministry surrender our bodies as holy temples of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We commit ourselves as true worshippers to usher in the presence of the Holy Spirit through dance and movement. We exalt, honor, give adoration, and thanksgiving through corporate worship; and allow God to use us to minister love, hope, peace, victory, and healing as Disciples of Christ.

 

PERFORMANCES:

   The Young Missionary Temple Dance Ministry performs each 2nd Sunday during morning worship service. However, the ministry also performs when requested both within and outside of the church. Request for the dance ministry must be sent directly to the Director of Dance, Mrs. Deborah Ragland.
