drama and mime ministry

The Ecclesia Church of God In Christ Praise Dance, Mime and Drama Ministry consist of our Youth along with our Adults, both Male and Female. We welcome you to be a part of this great ministry. To give you a brief History;
Praise dancing is now being accepted by the Christian community as a means of worshiping the Lord. In ancient times dancing had been an integral part of worship. Exodus15:20 records how Miriam and others danced for joy to celebrate their deliverance by the mighty Hand of God. The Hebrew Scriptures mentions numerous times when dancing was used to express one’s thankfulness to the Lord. Besides the term ‘dance’ other Hebrew words usually translated as ‘rejoice’, ‘joyful’ and even ‘tremble’ convey meanings to spin or circle around with a vigorous and enthusiastic expression of joy.
During the twentieth century, this Hebrew tradition once again found its proper place in praise and worship. Interestingly, this phenomenon of biblical worship has occurred when the Lord restored His nation Israel. Simultaneously, Messianic Jewish believers came into existence as a distinct part of the Church - body of Messiah. Praise and worship dance or sometimes called biblical dance is as diverse as the Church itself. Styles include modern, ballet, lyrical, hip hop; as well as prophetic and intercessory. Dances range from the spontaneity of one person to choreographed dances with numerous participants. Oftentimes streamers, flags and banners, and tambourines are utilized to further express one’s praise. The ethnic influence is seen in various folk dances from African to Israeli. There are many different terms used to describe this type of dancing: praise dancing, liturgical dance, biblical dance, worship dance, etc.
Our Dance and Drama Ministry may perform during our Sunday Morning services, Talent Programs, Black History Month, Christmas, Easter and Youth Programs to Glorify God.
God Bless You!
