Worship Leader

Our current Worship Leader is accepting a position in a growing church near his home, which is a one hour drive from Yorba Linda.  He has been great and is departing with our support and blessing. 

Over the past year he has worked with the Pastor to create Sunday Worship which has a consistent theme.  He has updated songs on planning center.  He has worked with the sound team consisting of sound board and computer with Pro-Presenter.  He has coached our one singer and led worship with his voice and guitar.  We sing a blend of newer songs and classic praise.  An occasional Hymn may punctuate the set when appropriate.    

Our former Worship Leader arrived by 9 on Sunday to set up for our 10am worship service.  We normally run about 1 hour and 15 minutes.  He would sometimes come in mid week to work on the tech, train volunteers, or practice with our singer.  

Our Worship Lead must be very comfortable in "solo leadership."  There may be Sundays when they will be the only person leading singing for 30-40 people.  Our hope is to build the team, and see growth in the church.  The congregation is older, but we are in the middle of growing young community.  It is our hope to create a space where younger people will be welcome.

It is important for the Worship Leader and Pastor to work together on worship.  The Pastor appreciates the worshp leader putting together a set to fit the message.  But the Worship Leader needs to be open if the Pastor has input, and suggestions for songs which uniquely amplify the point of the message.  We follow a schedule, but we also want to be open to the Spirits leading.  This may mean singing more, changing a song, or playing during Communion, etc.
