01 — Roles

Role charters define ownership, not every micro-task. Detailed SOPs live in other folders.

Role In one line
Director Owns the ministry under the pastor; appoints the team leads; accountable for the congregation’s worship
Worship Lead Owns how it is played — keys, forms, charts, rehearsal
Song Selector Chooses what we sing and why; hands the set to the Worship Lead
Vocalist Leads congregational melody with blend and presence
Band musician Rhythmic and harmonic foundation that serves the song
Tech Lead Owns production standards and tech roster health
FOH Engineer The congregation’s mix — lead vocal and lyric first
Monitor Engineer What the stage hears, without wrecking stage volume
Media / Lyrics Right words on the right screens at the right time
Lighting Focus and mood without distraction
Stream / Broadcast A stable, clear online service
Stage / Logistics A safe, ready platform — plots, cables, spares

Notes:

  • One person may hold multiple roles on a given week (e.g. Song Selector + Worship Lead). When that happens, they still own each charter’s must-dos — or explicitly hand off pieces in the plan.
  • Hats, not charters (see Definitions): Platform lead — the person on the mic whom band and media watch during the set (usually the Worship Lead; named on the service plan). Service Planner — order of service beyond the set (usually Director or Worship Lead). Section lead — experienced player/tech who coaches a slice of the team and is the first stop for questions.
