D.I.C.E. is the acronym for Dedicated in Christ's Expressions. We are a dance group that is based in the church Nairobi Chapel Youth Ministry Club Expressions.
Brief History
D.I.C.E. dance group started as a back up team for the Praise and Worship group Kuhani (Priest) which was mainly involved in making a worship experience better in church through dancing. As years passed by, one of the founder members Jackson Ndirangu felt the need for more cohesion and vision for the group. From that he and a team of founders sat down and made D.I.C.E. a Ministry dance team. So he added on to the group a few more committed and dedicated members.
On 2nd of September 2007, D.I.C.E. became a fully fledged Ministry dance group being active in the church and gaining recognition even outside the Church.
Through this we have seen a series of growth through leadership, character development and discipleship.
This is shown through the handing over of leadership from Jackson Ndirangu to John Damiano to now the current leader Paul Damiano
