Joining the Team¶
Owner: Director
Who we’re looking for¶
- Growing disciples who call this church home (or are actively becoming so)
- Teachable musicians/techs
- Reliable communicators
- Servants who can handle both spiritual moments and practical grit
Path¶
- Interest — conversation with Director / team lead
- Church alignment — membership/attendance expectations per church policy
- Safety — you receive the church protection policy and the designated reporter’s name; background check / protection training as the church requires (blocking if minors serve) — see Safety & Protection
- Assessment — musical or tech skills, with a written outcome (Auditions & Assessments)
- Shadow — watch a real Sunday
- Provisional serve — low-risk slots with a mentor
- Active roster — normal scheduling, once signed off as qualified for solo serve
Your first week — the practical bits¶
Your mentor tells you (and Our Congregation records): where to park, how to get in, who to text if the building is locked, the weekly clock, what to wear, and where the water is. Ask if you weren’t told.
Disqualifiers / pauses (examples)¶
- Unwillingness to prepare
- Persistent division or platform ego
- Ignoring protection or safety policies
- Life season that needs rest (pause is pastoral, not punishment)
