Chara Christian Dance Company
The goal of Chara is to glorify God in all that we do (...Whatever you do, do it for the glory of God...I Cor. 10:31). We offer students with hearts for Christ, and those around them, an opportunity to perform, collaborate with and encourage fellow believers in a setting of many different genres of dance. Our ministry is found in dancing for God at campus and community events as a method of outreach (Ps. 30:11-12). We desire to grow in unity in Christ and by keeping each other accountable in loving one another (Ps. 16:11; 92:4). We pray that this ministry will change lives and have people commit to following the Lord (Rom. 5:5) by serving the community through charities, performances, dance workshops, and finances (I Chron. 28:9; Col. 3:23-24). |
