What qualities do I need to be a music minister?
A love of music and a desire to praise God in song are the most important qualities a music minister should possess. Our primary goal is to assist the gathered assembly in their worship.
Do I need special training to be a music minister?
No. All necessary training is provided during rehearsal and special events throughout the year.
What if I can’t make it every week?
To be a music minister, you must make a commitment to attend rehearsals and to serve at one liturgy per week. However, conflicts do come up that require members to miss, absences are excused.
