From a very early age, her love for the performing arts was evident. Throughout her adolescent and
teenage years, Kimberly dreamed of singing and performing in front of large crowds. When the
opportunity came for her to sign a small record deal, the hand of the Lord intervened and the contract fell
through as the Lord had something else in store for her.
After a season of walking away from the Lord, Kimberly rededicated her life fully to His service and
became of member of the Rock Church Family Worship Center in Philadelphia. Under the leadership of
Apostle Bryant Lee and the late Charlene Phillips, she received her initial training in the ministry of praise
and worship. It was through her passion and love for the Lord that movement was birthed. Recognizing
this gift in 2000, she was released to form a praise and worship based dance ministry, “Beyond the Veil”
and two years later, Christ Center for Dance was born.
Kimberly received her formal technical training from Koresh Dance Company, Philadelphia and Dance
World, Erdheim where she was also a dance instructor. After receiving her technical training, she
became the ministry leader of the Hallelujah Praise Dancers and Worship Coordinator at Macedonia
Baptist Church, Norristown, PA.
Shortly after the opening of Christ Center for Dance, Kimberly wrote her first production called, "My
Testimony" in 2004. She has also written/director several dance productions including "Created to
Worship" (2005) "Prayer Changes Things" (2006) and "The Revolution" (2008).
In January 2007 with co-writers/directors Timotheus Peay & Sarita Garlic, Kimberly co-wrote/co-
directed, "The Nobodies", a musical broken up into three short stories. The musical was first performed
at Eisenhower Middle School and in January 2008 was performed a second time at the Arts Bank Theater
at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. After seeing the success of the show, Kimberly decided to
separate the theater team from the dance school by forming "Nobodies Productions".
Kimberly currently attends Tabernacle International Deliverance Church under the leadership of Pastor
Brian Weatherspoon in Norristown, PA and has served as ministry leader over the Instruments of Praise
Dance Ministry, TIDC Drama Ministry and Dominion Praise & Worship Leader. She is also finishing her BA
in Business Management at Eastern University.
Kimberly has a passion to teach and impart partial and biblical truths concerning the worship arts and has
dedicate her life to the pursuit of that.
She has been in the ministry of dance for the past 20 years. She received her initial training under Sister
Judith Merrill in SonRise Arts Ministry at New Covenant Church of Philadelphia under the pastorship of C.
Milton Grannum. She trained at SonRise from 1988-1994. Her most recent training occurred under
Minister Carolyn Johnson from 2003-2008 at the BBM Worship Arts Academy in Pennsauken, NJ. At BBM
she served as a student, instructor, administrator and Public Relations Liaison & Coordinator.
Monique currently serves as the Founder/Director of the Living Stones Dance Ministry, at Zion Baptist
Church of Ambler, PA under her Pastor, Gerald L. Chapman, Sr. She has served as the Director and
