Did I ever tell you about the one time Justin Bieber asked to join my worship team?...

Okay... that never happened. BUT, if he did ask, I probably wouldn't let him…

There's one final step to building a worship team that you CAN'T miss!

It's assimilating new members into the culture of your team.

That's how you get them to stick around for a long time…

You need a system for people to go through when they show interest in joining your worship team.

Part of that system includes a worship team AUDITION.

It's not as scary as it sounds...

Is it a struggle to recruit new worship team volunteers? You're not alone.

It'd be great to have a drummer, a keyboard player, and maybe another guitarist. (... and 2 more singers... and...)

But where do you find new worship team volunteers?…

Trying to find more volunteers to serve on your worship team?

It's easy to feel like your pool of volunteers is never big enough and you don't know how to grow your team…

You know how it goes...

You pick out some worship songs and send the list out to your worship team.

Then, you show up to worship rehearsal and you realize NO ONE on your worship team is prepared to rehearse them…

Have you ever had someone quit your worship team?

It always hurts when someone leaves your worship team - especially when you're not sure what went wrong…

Summer will officially be here at the end of this week! (At least in the US... sorry Aussies - enjoy your winter!)

For many church leaders that means things slow down a bit as regular church get togethers pause and people go on vacation…

Be honest: how does your worship team look when they lead worship?

Do they look excited? Do they look like they're confident in leading your church in worship?…

Do you struggle to find more volunteers for your worship team?

Maybe you'd like to have some redundancy in your team - a couple people who can fill in for other people when they aren't able to be there…

For far too many years, worship leaders have lowered their expectations of their worship team members under the guise of "volunteerism."…
