BFMI Dance Ministry ministers in dance under the leading and anointing of the Holy Spirit. Jeremiah 31:13 states “Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.” The word virgin also translates as bride and represents the bride of Christ which is The Church. In the last days the Word of God says the Church will rejoice in the dance.
BFMI dance ministry exists in prophetic fulfillment of this Scripture to usher in the presence and the glory of the Lord through dance. The primary purpose is to use dance as a tool to minister and advance the Kingdom of God. The mission and mandate of the ministry is through dance, minister praise, worship, healing, salvation, deliverance and the word of God to His people.
This dance ministry operates in total support and complement with the authority of the Church under the Worship and Fine Arts Department; serving the local fellowship during regular services, special events, and conferences and is consistently ready to minister when called upon. The dance ministry also ministers in the local community through the missions department, outreach programs and the prison ministry.
