Soli Deo Gloria is Latin for “to the Glory of God alone.” The mission of SDG is to instruct students in dance and the arts, for the purpose of deeper and more intimate worship of Jesus Christ. Students are taught dance and the arts at a high level, striving for excellence as serving the Lord, and not man.

Elyssa Currey started dancing at the age of 2 and never stopped. Training most of her life in the RAD syllabus, she completed her graduating exams with the RAD and ABT in 2015. In 2016 she guested with the Oakville School of Classical Ballet in the production of Paquita.

Elyssa participated in Arise School of Dance’s teacher training program in 2014, and in 2018 taught ballet and body conditioning at Arise. She has worked extensively as a private ballet coach, as well as serving as a teacher for 1:11 Ministries summer Arts Camp where she taught ballet, choreography, jazz, contemporary, and stretching. This year, she is excited to continue working at Soli Deo Gloria School of Dance and the Arts to share the art of dance with ballet students. Currently, Elyssa also dances part-time as a freelance artist.  

​

Elyssa is a dance teacher who is committed to train dancers of all ages in the art of classical ballet. She strives to develop excellence and artistry in students using visual, verbal, and physical cues. Most of all, Elyssa wants to see students grow in their love for the Lord and equip them to worship Him through the medium of dance.

Natasha’s life has revolved around the entertainment industry since she was a very young girl. As a child, she grew up modelling, dancing, acting and performing in professional theatre productions, where her passion for singing flourished. At the age of 13, she signed a record deal with EMI Canada and had the privilege of having Canadian country music icon, Jason McCoy, manage her career. At 17, she signed with SONY Music Canada where she went on to have two Top 20 Canadian singles, with her previous pop band. Along with major label signings, Natasha has had many incredible performing opportunities. Some highlights have been performing at Wembley Stadium as a Top 16 contestant in the UK’s X Factor, performing on the main stage at Boots & Hearts, performing multiple years at the Queen’s Plate, having music videos on CMT and MuchMusic, a song on the MuchDance CD compilation, performing at hundreds of major sporting events (NBA, NHL, MLB, MLS), becoming the Toronto FC and the Toronto Raptors resident anthem singer and going on to perform at multiple championship games, to include the MLS Cup in Seattle in 2019! Most recently, one of Natasha's songs also landed a spot in the Oscar-Nominated SONY motion picture, The Mitchells vs. The Machines.

She feels like now God has positioned her in a place where she can use her voice for a greater good and her ultimate purpose; being able to connect with those who look to music to worship and feel closer to God, or to just feel uplifted and inspired. Natasha has had an exciting musical journey thus far and will continue on her musical path with songs that glorify God. 

​

Natasha is very excited to share her brand new Christian Contemporary EP release, which is available now on all streaming services! The EP was co-written and produced by the incredible Trevor McNevan, of the Christian rock-band Thousand Foot Krutch.

Several songs from her Piano CDs are being played on Instrumental and New Age Radio Stations across the country, and have become a meaningful source of creative bridge-building and evangelistic expression for Debbie.  

Debbie was a featured worship artist on Brian Doerksen's Juno Award-winning album, "Holy God" for a riveting duet of the medley "Holy, Holy, Holy" / "Be Unto Your Name".   In a reciprocal response, Brian Doerksen joined her on ALL IS WELL for song #7 entitled "I Am Your Mighty God", a pivotal, prophetic song that continues to bring comfort to all who hear it. She has both enjoyed Brian’s mentoring in worship leading and song-writing, and also joined him in mentoring others as a special guest worship speaker and leader at Prairie Bible College, Alberta.  Debbie was the Keynote Speaker for the Canadian Women Alive 40th Anniversary National Conference in Waterloo, Ontario April 2013 and was a featured worship leaders for one of Beth Moore's first Canadian Conferences in Canada. 
After a miraculous healing, Debbie began her public ministry as a young 13-year-old, where she became the full time pianist at her father's C&MA Church in Oregon, USA.   After receiving her Diploma of Christian Ministries with an emphasis in Evangelism & Church Planting from Canadian Bible College (now Ambrose University, Calgary AB) she married the love of her life, Rev. Scott Fortnum, a College Pastor at Sevenoaks Alliance Church in Abbotsford, BC.  In her early pastoral years, she founded a thriving youth / college worship-mentoring movement called Awakenings, where over 30 denominations and youth / college groups were represented.  Together, they pastored Yarrow Alliance Church, where Debbie formed a strong worship ministry with multiple teams, as well as a thriving small-group-based Women's Ministry. 
After a journeying through several difficult seasons of personal pain and healing, plus a lengthy sabbatical, she launched her 9th album, ALL IS WELL in 2015, a triumphant musical work that came forth from the ashes. This album features theologically rich anthems for the Church, as well as the authentic, gut-wrenching prayers of a worshiper who deeply understands the formative seasons of pain that can occur in a Spirit-filled female leader's journey.  Debbie seeks to creatively encourage and empower God's people in every season: from the disconcertingly boring moments ... to the catastrophic events, arming them with truth-filled perspective and hope that will keep them steady in the storms of life!
