We are thrilled that you would like to be part of our team and are looking forward to seeing what God has planned for you. The audition process (for the worship band) is not intended to intimidate anyone, but instead to encourage believers to use their God given gifts to fulfill their personal mission for Christ whether it be on the worship team or another ministry within the church.

We are always looking for more people to fulfill these roles. The goal is to acquire multiple people for each position! Cathy or Justin will contact you with an update as how we will further in this process with you.
Spiritual Maturity
Every member of our worship team must be a follower of Christ. Musical worship is apart of our church service where the church body focuses on giving praise and honor to God. We are all worship leaders on this team! One is expected to actively seek a deeper relationship with God by regularly reading/studying the Word, an existence of a prayer life, and the ability to pray for others in the church.
NKMB Commitment
You must be a regular attendee of NKMB Church while calling this your home.
Regardless of being scheduled to serve on the worship team, you must still regularly attend with the rest of us!
Musical Excellence
A certain level of musical expertise and/or experience is expected on the worship team. We strive for excellence in our playing! That means that we really need to make a commitment to regularly listening to and practicing the music. We encourage musicians to never stop learning or growing. Taking lessons is a great way to grow. Do whatever it takes to continue your growth as a musician. Whether you play an instrument or sing, you should be skilled enough to complete a full set practice within a short time and to follow a service led by the Holy Spirit.
Come to rehearsals thinking creatively. We are all to be active participants in crafting songs so that they are enjoyable to play and powerful in the Holy Spirit. Our desire is to arrange songs in a way that worships God with out creativity. While being creative is valued, playing together as a team is vital to the style of music we play. Everyone has a part, and we need to make sure that we are playing ours,
and not everyone else’s.
To be part of musical worship team, we read our music via chord charts. You must be able to read and follow a standard chord chart and have a good grasp at the type of music that we play.
Equipment
Instrumentalists are expected to have their own instruments (with the exception of drums and piano/keys). Guitarists must have their own amps and pedals, if necessary. If this may be an issue, please do not hesitate to contact Cathy.
Time Commitment
Time commitment is a major part of our team. Each person is expected to honor the time we have together. This means showing up early to be ready to practice at the time scheduled. Currently, we have Thursday evening rehearsals at 7:00pm, And Sunday mornings at 8:30am. Any other rehearsals will be made known in advance! If you are ever going to miss a rehearsal or you know ahead of time that you are going to be late, please inform Cathy as soon as possible. We must remain accountable to one another to be on time. Being on time honors everyone on the team. Your punctuality shows value to others and will help accomplish our common goals.
