Welcome to the Worship Team Interest Page

Application Instructions

Applications and YouTube Videos are due the first Sunday of each quarter. Interviews will be arranged shortly after that date.

Why Auditions? Worship team auditions are held to assess a person's musical ability, character, and commitment to the church's worship vision, ensuring that those joining the team have the necessary skills to lead the congregation in worship effectively and align with the overall spirit of the ministry; essentially, it's a way to find the best fit for the team while ensuring a high quality of worship experience for the congregation.
