Worship Team Packet
Audition Information
Thank you for expressing interest in serving on the Worship Team at
Park Springs Bible Church. The Worship Team is designed to
provide its members a place to serve the church by using their Godgiven talents and assisting in creatively communicating the lifechanging message of Christ through music.
Audition Process
In order to serve on the Worship Team, you will go through an
audition process. This packet will guide you through the audition
process and show you what is expected from the Worship Team
members.
Packet and Music - Read through these guidelines and memorize
the music on the Park Springs website: http://www.psbible.com
located under the “Connect” tab on the menu bar. The chord chart
and lyrics are provided as well.
Questionnaire - Fill out the attached questionnaire according to your
desired position (band or vocal). We would love to learn about you!
Please answer each question in detail and bring the completed form
on audition day.
Auditions – Auditions are on an “as needed” basis and will be
scheduled as such.
What to Expect VOCALISTS - During your audition, you will sing the memorized
song melody with provided accompaniment before Matt Bowen.
Then you will sing the memorized song harmony with Matt to
evaluate your harmonizing skills.
MUSICIANS - During your audition, you will play the memorized
song to the recording before Matt Bowen.
Worship Team Guidelines
If you become a Worship Team member, you will be expected to follow these
guidelines.
Weekly Practice Sessions - All team members are required to attend the
weekly practice sessions. Musicians and singers are required to be in the
auditorium prior to the services for rehearsal and sound checks. If you are
not able to make a rehearsal or worship service you need to contact the
Worship Pastor and inform him.
If you cannot make the mid-week
rehearsal, you will not be able to participate on the following Sunday with
us. Because we are always introducing new music it is important that you
are at the rehearsal prior to that weekend.
Commitment to Being Spiritually Prepared to Minister - Our spiritual
preparation has a direct effect on our effectiveness as a worship and music
ministry team. We need to come ready not only to sing and play music, but
also to worship the King and minister to His people.
Commitment to Musical Expertise - We need to work on our
instrumental and/or vocal ability to become the very best we can be. This
means a great deal of individual practice – maybe even lessons – as well
as playing with the team. Keep in mind that the team will only be as
musically proficient as the individuals that make it up.
Commitment to Growing Spiritually – This commitment is as important
on an individual basis as it is to the team. As a leadership ministry, we
need to be committed to maturing in Christ.
Commitment to “Flowing” with the Team - More than individual
expertise, one of our musical goals is the ability to “flow” with the team. We
need to look at our team as not just a collection of separate musicians, but
as a single unit with a single purpose. Our heart-attitude should not be to
shine forth our own technical skill, but to use that skill to enhance the team
as a whole.
Commitment to Being a Witness Outside of Church Walls – During
your involvement in the music ministry, should you or the leadership of the
church feel that your personal life is not reflecting a Christ-centered life as
modeled in the Bible, we will offer you the opportunity to step down to sort
out those issues.
Other Functions - The team will be expected to lead worship for seminars
and other special retreats and meetings if needed.
