As an active member of a Worship Team, you are part of one of the most visible ministries in the church. It is a high and holy calling that requires you to be a true worship leader. We cannot lead the body of Christ into worship unless we, ourselves, are having a worship experience. Worship Teams are made up of those vocalists and musicians who are called to the ministry and are willing to use their gifts and abilities to serve the Lord through worship leadership.

AUGUST 2010 SCHEDULE FOR WORSHIP LEADERS, MUSICIANS & TECNICAL TEAMS AVAILABLE UNDER BLOGS
[Updated 7/27/10] |
A Worship Team currently consists of 10 members:
3 Lead Vocalists
1 Pianist/Keyboard player
1 Lead Guitar
1 Bass Guitar
1 Drummer (electronic drums)
2 Audio Technicians
1 Video Technician
Members of a Worship Team work together each week through prayer and preparation to lead the body of Christ into the worship experience. Rehearsals are conducted every Wednesday evening from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary. During the summer months (June through August) teams rehearse on a summer schedule on Sunday mornings before worship. Attendance at rehearsals is critical to ensure that the quality of worship music gives glory to God and edifies the believer.
Members of a Worship Team possess a demonstrated high level of proficiency in either singing, playing their instrument, or practicing their technical craft.
Leonardtown Baptist Church currently has several vocalists and musicians who lead worship on a rotating basis. Vocalists serve an average of 1 Sunday per month, unless they are needed to substitute on another Sunday. Musicians serve more often, sometimes every week, as there are not as many musicians as vocalists.
Vocalists and musicians interested in being a part of a Worship Team should contact the Director of Music. A current list of substitutes is kept in order to fill future vacancies and to organize groups for special services or events outside of Sunday morning worship.
In order to become a member of a Worship Team, one must be a born-again believer in Jesus Christ, be a member of Leonardtown Baptist Church, and have demonstrated vocal (quality singing tone and pitch) or instrumental (proficient) ability. Vocalists on a Worship Team must also be a member of the Sanctuary Choir.
