After Choir Flava’ (ACF)

The purpose of ACF is to praise God through dance. ACF mixes hip-hop moves with music that proclaims the Gospel message. ACF offers opportunities for dancers to try-out to be a part of the Core team, which engages in various performances throughout the year in an effort to spread the Gospel through the art of dance. We also give the opportunity for those without dance experience to attend monthly dance sessions and join us in our worship by learning choreography regardless of their skill.  Above all, ACF strives to be a reflection of the awesome joy contained in the love of God our Father, his son Jesus Christ, and his Holy Spirit.
