Worship Team Core Values 

“But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” 
Matthew 22:34-40 

Worship Team Qualifications:

  • Committed to attending Reach Church (Hebrews 10:24-25)
You should not be going to church just because you are on the Worship Team. It is vital to be filled by the Spirit through consistently hearing His Word. Be a part and involved with the body, fellowshipping, discipling, and being discipled!
  • A Leader by example (Titus 2:7-8)
We are all seen as leaders and should live our lives as such. At church and away from church; on and off the stage. Worship leading is truly only done by example. Are you consistently entering into worship yourself? The way we live our lives can be a way of worshiping and honoring the Lord, or dishonoring Him as we bear His image. Do you look like you are enjoying worship and engaging with God? Are you?
People look up to you as a leader; give them an example to follow. You don’t want anyone who sees you leading worship in church to be surprised how you are living outside of the church. 
  • Ability to play skillfully (Psalm 33:3, Revelation 4:11)
Jesus desires the right heart in worship, and can use any person and any situation for His glory, but He also deserves skillful, intentional, pre-rehearsed instrumentation. 
  • Ability to play with a team (1 Peter 3:8)
This is not a solo event but a team sport. It takes both humility and skill to be able to play with other musicians. 
    Worship Team Expectations:
    • Committed to being on time (Luke 16:10)
For rehearsals, pre-service preparation and other scheduled events. 
          • Sunday at 8:00 am
          • Thursday at 7:00 pm 
    • Showing up prepared (Colossians 3:23-24) Please spend time listening to the music at home to be prepared to sing and play it. This looks different for everyone, and the expectation isn’t perfection in the mid-week rehearsal.
    • Committed to the team (1 Corinthians 12:12-13, James 5:16) We are a team and a family. We need to be growing together in unity and love with one another. Whether present or future, please bring any hidden strife and disunity to light in order that it can be handled biblically, as according to Jesus in Matthew 18, and there can be forgiveness and unity regrown. This includes the leadership/staff as well as team members!
    • Commitment to growing spiritually (Colossians 1:9-12) We need to be committed to maturing in our Christian walk! Our walk with The Lord is not about perfection, but about progression. You are serving on a team who cares about you and is here to help you in your walk. We want to know how we can pray for you, and help walk alongside you as we strive to be more Christ-like together!
    • Committed to your ministry (1 Timothy 3:2-5) We know being a part of this team takes time and commitment, and we never want it to be at the expense of your family or health. Never feel ashamed of declining a request or putting blockout dates on times you know you will be busy.
    • Godly actions/decisions (Ephesians 5:1-4, Galatians 6:1-2) You are a leader among the church. We ask that you represent Jesus in your social media content, your work, and your home. Know that there are things that can temporarily or permanently get you removed from this team. This is not intended to make you fearful, but you are a leader and are expected to live a life that is Christ-like on and off the stage.
If you are struggling with sin in a certain area and need accountability, please don’t hesitate to go to leadership. We are in this life together and called to help one another in love.
    What Worship Leading Is Not:
    • Worship leading is not about impressing people with our talents and looking cool. 
    • Worship leading is not just playing songs for people; putting on a performance.
    • Worship leading is not just a job you do to check the “ministry” box or earn favor with God.
    What Worship Leading Is:
    • Worship Leading is personally worshiping God while drawing others into worshiping God.
    • The role of a worship leader must be someone who worships. You cannot expect to lead anyone where you don’t go yourself.
    • Worship leading is a lifestyle you live throughout the week.
