Dance Team
Guidelines
By Roberta
Walther
These are the general guidelines
that I expect my dance team members to follow at my home
church, Evangel
Christian Fellowship in San
Jose, CA. Make sure to get input from your own pastors
when establishing a set of guidelines for your dance
company. These rules are actually appropriate for any
performing arts ministry team.
A. Spiritual Rules:
1. A personal,
committed relationship to Jesus Christ.
2. A Christian walk
consistent with Biblical guidelines, i.e. a lifestyle
of holiness and purity in the way you act, dress, and
in the things you do away from, as well as at church.
3. Daily devotional
prayer life, including worship, prayer support for
the team, the vision of the church, and the harvest
of souls.
4. Have the baptism
of the Holy Spirit, evidenced by speaking in tongues.
5. Regular attending
member of a local church.
B. Physical/Practical Rules:
1. An attitude of
submission and humility to Christ, the leadership of
the dance team and the church, as well as a teachable
spirit. Support for one another as team members.
2. Keeping your body,
mind and spirit free from injury and sin in order to
be able to minister properly under the power and the
anointing of the Holy Spirit.
3. Appropriate dress
as priestly representatives of Jesus Christ at all
times.
4. Faithful
attendance of classes and rehearsals, appointed
meetings, and church on Sundays.
5. Flexibility!
6. Patience! There is
a season of confirmation and ordination. Trust your
leader's wisdom in determining when you are to be
released into ministry.
As a team and as a church, we
desire that a spirit of excellence be upon all that we
do. And while technique is important, ultimately, it is
our heart attitude towards the Lord that will be the
greatest determining factor in the level of anointing
that we operate under. If we have no anointing, we have
no power, and there will be no fruit! Let's be the very
best that we can be for the Lord so that He will be
glorified and magnified as He flows through us in dance.
"Love
through me, love of God.
Make me like thy clear air,
through which unhindered,
colors pass
as though it were not there."
