The Story of Daughters of Destiny

In 2007, the first generation of Daughters of Destiny (D.O.D) ministered onto the Lord as children. With some only 5 and 10 years old, D.O.D was born within the Church of God of the Nazarene in Orange.

During those foundational years, vision was forming. A ministry was being born. Dancers were being trained, stretched, and called deeper. COGON Dance Ministry was then established in 2017 as the official dance ministry of our church home, faithfully stewarding worship within the house.

Same foundation.

Different assignments.

Daughters of Destiny exists now as a community-based dance ministry, equipping, mentoring, and mobilizing dancers to minister not only in churches, but across spaces and communities.

Between revivals, rehearsals, and reflection, I’m reminded that true worship isn’t just in motion, it’s in the heart behind every step.

How This Dance Ministry Started

I'm so excited to be starting another season of dance ministry. The art of dance is so close to my heart, it's always an honor to get to share it with God and other people. I was given a desire for dance before I was given the gift. As a child, I watched my big sister dance in her after school clubs and wanted to do the same. I remember practicing so hard and still not being able to perform with the other dancers. The skill had not yet been developed. Eventually, my mother mu
