💙 Why Being on the Worship Team Is Awesome
Serving on the worship team is a unique and beautiful calling. We don’t just play music—we help create space for people to encounter Jesus. Week after week, we get to:
- Help lead our church in moments of genuine worship and response to the Lord.
- Use the gifts God has given us to glorify Him.
- Be part of a team that feels like family—where encouragement, growth, and fun are part of the culture.
- Join in what God is doing at LifePoint as we seek Him together.
It’s not about performance—it’s about pointing people to Jesus and being transformed ourselves in the process.
🎵 Why We Sing
- God commands it. Scripture is filled with calls to sing (over 400 references, including 50 direct commands). Singing is part of how we respond to God’s greatness (Psalm 96, Colossians 3:16).
- Singing shapes us. It helps the truth of God's Word dwell in us deeply. When we sing Scripture-rooted songs, we’re forming our theology and strengthening our faith.
- Singing unifies us. When we worship in one voice, it brings us together across preferences, experiences, and personalities.
💡 Worship Team Core Values
🎯 Jesus Is the Center
Our team exists to lift up Jesus—not songs, skill, or style. Every part of what we do is about helping people see and respond to Him.
❤️ Character Over Skill
We value technical growth, but it will always take a back seat to character development. Your heart matters more than your ability.
If someone’s character or actions do not reflect Christ, we will take that seriously. At times, this may mean asking someone to step down from the team temporarily or permanently. This is never for punishment, but for the benefit of the heart. Your heart being right with God matters more than your passion on stage. We will always put that first.
💪 Team Health Matters
We care more about the health and unity of the team than a perfect performance. We’d rather have one person leading with a guitar and a healthy heart than a full band whose lives are openly or secretly a mess.
This is not about perfection. No one shows up fully engaged, every week, all the time. We all have bad weeks. But there is a difference between having a tough week and being spiritually disengaged. If you're walking through a difficult season, talk with someone on the team or with leadership. You're not alone.
🤝 Every Role Matters
Whether you're a vocalist, instrumentalist, sound tech, slide operator, or video team member—you are essential. Every person helps create the environment for worship.
🗣️ Feedback Culture
- Praise publicly. Critique privately.
- Encouragement is the default. Let’s call out what’s good and celebrate each other often.
- You can only give feedback to the level of your investment or your invitation in a person’s life.
❌ Remove Distractions
We gladly lay down anything that distracts from elevating Christ—this includes overplaying, distracting attire, or an attitude that puts self over the team.
👕 What We Wear
Our goal is to keep attention on Christ, not ourselves. Clothing should be modest, clean, and non-distracting. (If you’re ever unsure, ask!)
🏠 More Than Just Serving
We are active members of LifePoint—not just when we're on the schedule. We’re a community, not just a rotating group of volunteers.
🙏 Spiritual & Lifestyle Expectations
💛 Spiritual Practices
Worship begins off-stage. These practices anchor a worship leader’s heart in intimacy with God.
- Daily Personal Devotion: Regular time in the Word and prayer.
“You can’t lead people where you haven’t been yourself.” - Private Worship: Personal worship and prayer outside of church are expected. If you are not worshiping God privately, it will eventually show up publicly.
“You can’t lead people where you haven’t been yourself.”
