​"We take the stage tonight as a community of Believer artists, dedicating our lives and gifts to the glory of God and for the spiritual nourishment and transcendent enriching of our audience members. We take to heart the calling to serve as ambassador-artists of God’s Kingdom and to be vessels of His grace offered to all people."

Blessings in AbunDance,
Randall Flinn
Artistic Director
Ad Deum Dance Company

company bio

Ad Deum Dance Company is a moving force of contemporary dance and physical theatre. Pure passion, grace and elite athleticism abound as these artists explore the mysteries of faith, the wonders of life, and the brokenness and beauty of our world through the art of dance. Ad Deum embraces the imaginative and creative freedom of the body, soul, and spirit of mankind as the signature of God’s design upon humanity. Ad Deum has received outstanding reviews for local and national performances, as well as international tours to Poland, Austria, Great Britain, France, Thailand, Japan, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and Canada.

company mission

The mission of Ad Deum is to create and perform works of dance that go deep into the true, intimate, fragile, and integral realities of life. Our purpose is to graciously offer ourselves as messengers of hope, healing, justice, challenge, and redemptive change. We believe that dance should be an art form that speaks to the human soul and spirit. We believe that dance can impact, engage, and serve as an agent for good among a culture and society.

JOIN US at woodland community FOR CHURCH ON SUNDAY: 
9AM & 10:55AM 

We offer two slightly different worship options that are both Christ-centered, authentic, and engaging for the entire family:

• Our 9AM Service is Band-driven and features a Worship Choir most Sunday’s. In addition, we’ll sing at least one fresh arrangement of a classic hymn or older chorus.

• Our 10:55AM Service is also Band-driven with slightly more energy and an additional modern worship song or creative element.

Both services are typically 65-70 minutes and are close enough stylistically where your family and friends will enjoy lifting high the name of Jesus, regardless of which you attend. The atmosphere in both services is causal and welcoming, with childcare available for all age groups as well.
