Mime Ministry 
Ministering Mime is telling a story through expressive gestures and movement. These movements interpret what is being said or heard. Miming is creative worship that conveys God’s grace. The purpose is not to entertain, but to minister to someone’s spirit or very soul. To truly minister, the mime must first surrender and submit to God to be used for His glory. God’s glory is revealed as the mime touches the heart of the audience to see, feel, and know that God is real!

Goal: To cheerfully testify the gospel and the grace of God through sign, body language, praise and worship, while exemplifying Christ at all times.
Mission: To win souls for the Kingdom of God, to break shackles off of God’s people, and to heal through ministering in mime.
Ministry Scripture: Acts 20:24
Rehearsals: Rehearsal times vary
Ministry Contacts: 
Mary Buchanon, Mihkail Cooper (Instructor), Jennifer McGhee, Kim Wilson
