"And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men." — Colossians 3:23 Worship Team Code of ConductHeart and Attitude of Worship We serve to bring glory to God, not to ourselves. Worship is not about recognition, attention, or financial gain, but about obedience and faithfulness to the calling God has placed on our lives. Team members are expected to walk in humility, unity, and a teachable spirit. Conflicts, pride, gossip, or division have no place on the worship team. Spiritual Preparation Team members are encouraged to maintain a growing personal relationship with Christ through prayer, Scripture, and regular church attendance. Come to rehearsals and services prayed up and spiritually prepared. If something in life is hindering your spirit or testimony, communicate with leadership so support and prayer can be offered. Musical Preparation & Rehearsal All music must be practiced and prepared before Sunday morning. Team members are expected to learn their parts, including chord changes, lyrics, arrangements, and transitions. Rehearsals are for unity and refinement—not for learning songs from scratch. Arrive on time and ready to play. If unable to attend rehearsal or service, notify leadership as early as possible. Dress Code & Appearance Dress should be modest, respectful, and appropriate for leading others in worship. Clothing should not be distracting, revealing, or draw attention away from God. Avoid clothing with offensive language, graphics, or messaging that does not align with Christian values. When asked to follow a specific dress theme or color scheme, team members are expected to comply.

Remember:

we want people to see Jesus, not us. Conduct & Behavior Treat pastors, leaders, fellow team members, and congregation with respect and kindness. Maintain a Christ-like attitude in speech, actions, and online presence. Be dependable, accountable, and willing to serve wherever needed. Substance use, inappropriate relationships, or behavior that damages testimony may result in removal from the team. Commitment & Accountability Being on the worship team is a ministry commitment, not just a musical role. Faithfulness and consistency are expected. Leadership reserves the right to address concerns, provide correction, or step someone down if needed—for restoration, growth, and the health of the ministry. Unity & Submission Team members are expected to follow the direction of the worship pastor and pastoral authority. Differences of opinion should be handled privately and respectfully. Unity on the platform reflects unity in the Spirit. Final Commitment Serving on the worship team is a privilege and a calling. By serving in this ministry, each member commits to worshipping with excellence, humility, and a heart fully devoted to glorifying God. We worship not for applause, attention, or compensation, but because He alone is worthy. "O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker." — Psalm 95:6
