Orientation
I am a youth who is quite active in church ministry. My journey in serving began in the Yosia Choir, where I first learned about discipline, responsibility, and the joy of serving God. However, because I have loved dancing for a long time, I was eventually placed in the worship dancer ministry at GKI Maulana Yusuf. This worship dancer ministry is relatively new, as it was first established on November 1, 2024. Until now, it has been running for one year, and I am grateful to be part of its journey.When I first joined, I felt an overwhelming mix of emotions. I was happy because I could dance as part of the ministry, but at the same time, I felt afraid because worship dancing was a completely new experience for me. Worship dancing is not just about moving the body; each movement has a pattern, meaning, and technique that must be performed with deep expression. I also had to learn how to use the tambourine, which certainly has its own proper techniques.
Events
My journey in the worship dancer ministry
began with basic training. The coach taught me 10 basic tambourine movements, starting from how to hold it, swing it, and combine the movements with worship music. Each movement had to be done correctly, in harmony, and in unity with the others. During this training process, my fear and nervousness were still quite strong. I worried about making mistakes, falling behind the others, or not being able to follow the rhythm.However, through regular practice, I slowly became more accustomed. As time went by, we got closer to our first ministry, which was the Advent 1 service. Training became more serious. Movements that previously felt difficult began to make sense to me, and every detail was refined by the coach so that we could dance well. Even though repeating the movements over and over felt tiring, I knew it was all done to glorify God.
Finally, the long-awaited day arrived—my first time serving as a worship dancer. When I stood before the congregation, my emotions were completely mixed. I felt happy, nervous, scared, joyful, and even a bit of stage fright. But when the music began and I swung the tambourine for the first time, a sense of peace slowly entered my heart. I danced not just to perform, but to worship God. After the service ended, I felt relieved and joyful. It felt like I had successfully passed the first stage I had been afraid of.After the Advent 1 experience, I became more involved in other services such as Christmas, Easter, and other special church events. Although the nervousness still came every time I was about to perform, each service helped me gain more confidence. I learned that courage does not appear instantly; it grows through habits and continuous processes. Each service also gave me new experiences in teamwork and moving in harmony with my fellow dancers.
Among the many services I have taken part in, one moment stands out the most. It was when I danced for the opening of Family Month as well as the celebration of GKI Maulana Yusuf’s anniversary. That evening felt very festive and full of joy. The congregation was enthusiastic, and we worship dancers could dance with deep expression. The feelings I experienced that night were a blend of joy, gratitude, and pride for being able to take part in such an important moment for the church.
Throughout this one year, I have gained many valuable lessons from worship dancing. I learned that ministry is not only done with words or singing, but also through body movement and the beauty of dance. I learned that every movement must be done with sincerity, because the true purpose is to worship God, not to perform in front of people. I also learned that mistakes or failures are not the end, but a part of the learning process.
Reorientation
My one-year experience in worship dancing has
truly shaped me. Not only have my dancing skills improved, but so have my courage, discipline, and spirituality. I learned that ministry is not just a task, but a calling that must be carried out wholeheartedly. Through every preparation, practice, and service, I realized more and more that God can use even simple talents to bless others.Now, after one year of serving as a worship dancer, I am increasingly grateful for the opportunity to grow through this ministry. I hope to continue dancing, serving, and glorifying God through every movement I present. With all the experiences I have gone through, I am ready to continue this journey with a stronger, more sincere, and more grateful heart. I also hope that my ministry can inspire and encourage others to serve as well.
