Abstract
The performing arts (a combination of music, dance and dramatisation) in the church in Kenya have not received much scholarly attention. These performing arts as adopted by Christian dance groups in Kenya have not been fully accepted into Christian circles because of the indigenous and popular music influences that govern them. This study therefore sets out to determine the educational role that the performing arts in the church in Nairobi play as demonstrated by a Nairobi Christian dance group, the Maximum Miracle Melodies.
