Worship Ministry
CALLING ALL MUSICIANS!!!
Westside Christian Church provides wonderful opportunities for musicians who love to use their instrument in worship. For a Christian musician, there is nothing quite like honoring God with a team of other musicians in worship. Not only do we seek to honor God every week at Westside, but we also have a blast as we do it!
GETTING STARTED
If you believe God might be calling you to be a part of the Westside worship team, we would love to talk with you. In figuring out if there is a place for you on the worship team, there are a few things we would like to see from you:
-
You must have an undeniable love for God. Do you love to worship God and lead others into His presence?
-
You must have an undeniable love for people. Your desire must be to see other people worship, not for others to watch you. Worship team members are servants to the church family.
-
Get to know us. While there is no specific time period that you need to attend the church before joining the worship team, our hope is that you will have spent enough time with us to decide that this is your home church.
-
Help us to get to know you. It takes time to get to know people. Whatever you can do to be around us and let yourself be known will really help us. We have found that many people who are now on the worship band started out helping as roadies on the set up team, or as mix engineers if they’ve had relevant experience. This has proven to be a great way to get connected.
-
We also need to see if your musical ability is at a level where you can pick up a chord chart and play or sing. There are various ways of communicating and demonstrating your actual skill level – through references from previous experience, through recordings of your playing, or through a one-on-one meeting with the Worship Leader. Once we know of your interest, we may ask you to attend one of our Wednesday evening practices.
As much as we are looking for musical competence, we are also looking for someone who is able to:
-
Follow the direction of the worship leader
-
Play within a band
-
Retain memory of arrangements,
-
... and also play or sing as led in the moment by the Holy Spirit.
Again, from our perspective, worship is not about musical ability and performing so much as it is about offering all that we are, with discernment, in order to bless God and the church family at Westside Christian Church.
