Audition
Process
Applying to the music ministry won’t be that difficult if you are prepared both musically and spiritually. The purpose of this application process is to determine your musical proficiency, spiritual maturity, commitment, and personal compatibility with our team and approach to leading worship. At the end of this process, an invitation may be extended to join the worship team.

STEP THREE
GET A CALL BACK
Decision by leadership – you can expect to hear within a few days. We will never say “no” to someone who applies. However, we may say “not now”, which means we don’t feel you are ready at this time, and that you need further time to work on your skills. We will recommend things for you to work on (e.g. timing, pitch, take lessons, etc.).
You are welcome to re- audition at a later date once you have worked on our recommendations. If you are not invited to join when you first apply, please don’t take it personally, as it is not a reflection of who you are in Christ. We want everyone to be successful. And putting someone in the ministry and on the platform before they are ready will only frustrate them, the team, and possibly the congregation.
