What is a Worship Team?
- Worship Teams exist to guide people into an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ through building and releasing people in their gifts and pointing people towards Jesus through music.
- Worship is the way we choose to respond to God throughout all life circumstances by honoring Him with our words, bodies and hearts. Our Worship Teams strive to give people the opportunity to express their hearts to God individually and collectively as a church body through the creative form of music.
- Worship Teams are an outlet for musicians and vocalists at SunWest to get involved, to be a part of the SunWest community.
What do the SunWest Worship Teams look like?
The SunWest Worship Teams provide music that is current, music that people in south Calgary enjoy hearing on the radio. The style really doesn't matter as long as the music is creative, relevant to the community around us and gives expression to the vision of SunWest. As Worship Teams we desire to:
- give glory and honor to God through our music
- create an environment of passionate worship
- perform with excellence
- be relevant to our community
- perform various styles of music
- write and record music by our own people
- train and raise up excellent musicians.
How do the Worship Teams impact "my life"?
Worship Teams provide people the opportunity to get involved in using their musical gifts. The ministry is designed to build not only good musicians, but also good friends. This is a great place to get to know other musicians and to improve your musical gifting, all while seeking our the heart of God.
Can I get involved?
Yes! Worship Teams provide regular playing opportunities for musicians in grades 6 - 12 in Youth Church and adults in both Big Church and Kid's Church. As a result of the up front nature of this ministry, there are a few things that you should do.
- Observe the Worship Teams and make sure this is something you believe in, and will contribute and commit to.
- Contact the music director of your campus to set up an appointment with them.
- Most of the positions on the Worship Team require an audition.
