Worship Team Application

We are looking for individuals who come alive in worship and have made musical worship a regular practice in their personal lives, outside of corporate gatherings. 

We are passionate about raising up healthy, thriving whole people. This includes how we are living our life, our commitment to rest, balance in our work, the way we love and show up for our family and others, how we show up in community and receive feedback, how we handle conflict, and how we manage our freedoms- whether time, substances, aptitudes, or theological preferences. We are not looking for perfection in this, but an awareness and humility and growth mindset.

Your rest and internal health is far more important to us than your skill. If you have a history of finding your place of belonging in church based on your “gifting,” “anointing,” or “talents,” we would strongly encourage you to wait on this application, and to enjoy a season of connection and knowing your worth in the family of God, before stepping into service.

We are specifically looking for servant leaders, walking in humility, who are forming their lives after the way of Jesus. You are an extension of the Leadership Team of this church, so we ask that you hold that with honor and joy within our body. We are asking for awareness, humility, and wisdom in your behavior, speech, countenance and lifestyle both on AND off stage. 

A value for us as especially visible leaders serving in front of our community, is to carry the role of worship team member with wisdom and honor for those who are watching us: (ie: a good rule of thumb for us as a worship team is,  if you wouldn’t do it, say it, or behave like it in front of little children, it’s probably not beneficial to the body in this space. And also, you’d be amazed how much the kids in our community are looking up to and modeling after you!)

We are looking for individuals who prioritize community in their lives and are choosing to weave their lives into the fabric of this church body. We want you to be known, seen, experienced and loved here!! For us as a team, it is a huge priority to gather regularly, practicing fellowship, vulnerability, prayer, confession and accountability in our daily lives. We host worship team community nights 1-2 times per quarter and these are of highest priority for worship team members.

We understand that we have a specific “style” and genre of music that we are playing at Living Waters, and it may not be everyone’s first choice or preference. As much as we love and enjoy ALL the sounds and genres of music for enjoyment's sake, our heart for leading worship here is to lead our community in songs of high praise, focusing on the Lord. We are specifically learning and teaching songs that are simple and straightforward that help us continue to grow in our spiritual development. 

We are primarily looking for musicians and vocalists who feel very at home in a simplified band dynamic that may sound similar to artists like Elevation Worship, Bethel Music, KXC, Housefires, and UPPERROOM. We have found that these styles work best for our context. 

*We want to acknowledge that you may have an incredible gifting in a musical genre that is better suited outside of our limited worship context. We celebrate those gifts and earnestly hope you are seeking ways to creatively sow them into our city, valley, and the world! The earth needs your creativity, and it isn’t limited to the church!
