"How in the world am I supposed to find more worship team members?!"

Every worship leader wishes they had more people on their team. But, in our attempt to find more members for our worship team, we over-complicate the process.

But I want to assure you, the method to finding more worship team members is simple. It's not necessarily easy... but it's simple.

Here are 3 simple ways to find more worship team members:

1 | Ask

It's easy to get so focused on simply wanting more people on our worship team that we forget the most important step.

If you want people to join your worship team, the best way is to ask people to join.

Most people will not just randomly come up to you and ask to join. They probably think you're doing just fine without them. But, when you make the need known to them, it opens the opportunity for them to join.

And, I'm not talking about putting up a random announcement slide telling people to join the worship team. The best way to ask people is to personally invite them.

Get to know the people of your church, find out who has musical talent, and ask them if they'd be interested in joining your team.

2 | Teach

Maybe you've decided that absolutely nobody in your church knows how to play an instrument. Teach them!

Sometimes you have to build the team you want. Like I said - it's not necessarily easy but it is simple. It just takes time.

Invite someone who "isn't quite there musically yet" to sit in on your rehearsals. There's so much to learn by simply being in the same room as other musicians. 

3 | Focus on the team you currently have and create a culture people want to be a part of

Answer this question honestly: Is your worship team a worship team you would want to join if you weren't already a part of it?

Before you focus on just trying to get more people to join your team, make sure your team is a team people would want to be a part of.

Are you getting people the resources they need to lead well? Are you planning in advance? Are you respecting people's time at rehearsals?

Good culture attracts good team members.
