What a season!
This past Saturday, our dancers took their final bow following two incredible weeks of community outreach. They are now taking some well-deserved rest and reflecting on a beautiful season themed around “Flowers of the Field.”
“Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!” —Luke 12:27-28
To everyone who watched a performance or supported us behind the scenes this year—thank you. We are endlessly grateful for our community.
Keep an eye on our page because announcements for our upcoming season are coming soon!

“The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.”
Revelation 22:17 ESV
What a privilege it has been to minister to our community over the past few weeks. Through the shared languages of dance, prayer, and personal testimony, we witnessed hearts drawn closer to Christ in deeply profound ways.
We are full of anticipation for everything still to come.
Featured: “Bride of Christ,” beautifully choreographed by company dancer Monica Howell.
