Additional Steps

Before you begin serving on stage, we ask that you come and hang out with the worship team during rehearsals for several weeks. There are a few reasons for this:

Rehearsals cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time. Being a spectator will allow you to see first-hand how rehearsals flow.
When you know what to expect at rehearsal, it will allow you to be better prepared when it is your turn.
It may help you to be more relaxed. Playing or singing with a new group of people can cause some to be nervous. Having multiple chances to meet those you will be serving alongside should calm your nerves.

Next, a staff member will set up an account for you on Planning Center. This is an online service planning website where band members, songs and service flow are scheduled and posted. It allows worship team members to access chord charts and lyric sheets as well as mp3’s of songs we will be using in worship.

After your account is set up and you have access to the resources you need, you’re ready to go. The Worship Pastor is in charge of scheduling vocalists and instrumentalists. The frequency with which you are scheduled will depend on how many applicants are ahead of you and the information you provide on the application (i.e. experience, availability).
