Shadow & Training

Owner: Tech Lead / Worship Lead

Shadow rules

  • Shadows are introduced to the team; not anonymous lurkers
  • Hands on gear only with operator OK
  • Ask questions between songs, not during quiet pastoral moments
  • Confidentiality: what you hear in prayer/team talk stays in the team — except where the church’s reporting obligations apply (Safety & Protection)

Training progression (tech example)

  1. Observe full service
  2. Run checklist with coach
  3. Own a segment (e.g. wireless batteries + labeling)
  4. Own role with coach on coms
  5. Qualified for solo serve — shadow steps complete and the Tech Lead signs the onboarding checklist

Band progression

  1. Rehearsal sit-in
  2. Partial set
  3. Full set with simple arrangements
  4. Qualified — Worship Lead signs the onboarding checklist; normal rotation
