Worship Ministry
North Metro Worship is a passionate and talented group of creatives dedicated to honoring God with their gifts and sharing his message of love, hope, and joy with the people of North Metro Church and beyond.
While everyone is a worshiper, there are specific requirements for serving on the North Metro Worship team. To join, you must not only possess skill in your craft but, more importantly, have a heart dedicated to worshiping the Lord with your life and talents. We are constantly seeking individuals with talents or skills in areas such as vocals, musicianship, graphic design, artistry, and technical roles like sound engineers and lighting designers. The aim of these creatives is to inspire hearts, lead others in worship, and encourage people to follow Jesus Christ.
To learn more, please contact Monique Graham for the worship band or contact Rick Frye for the tech team, or use the Serve form on this page to express interest.
Band/Vocalists
The worship band includes vocalists and musicians.
The first step in joining the worship band is an audition, and that starts with answering a few questions. Please submit this form to express your interest.
Tech Team
The tech team is a subset of the worship team. We all work together toward the goal of providing an atmosphere in which people can experience God through music and teaching.
While the band provides the music, the techs provide audio and visual support for the church in the auditorium and on the livestream.
Sound Tech — This role “mixes” the audio, adjusting individual volume and processing to provide clear, professional-quality sound to the audience, whether in-house or on the livestream.
Media Tech — The media tech operates ProPresenter on the presentation computer, putting everything on the screens, including song lyrics, promotion slides, video clips, sermon notes, etc.
Lighting Tech — This person operates a lighting control panel to light the stage and the house. The current system is a fairly simple analog setup. The future goal is to add more lights and upgrade to LED lighting with a digital console.
Video Camera Operator — This role can be very basic or it can be more in-depth. The basic version is to aim the camera and zoom in and out as directed by the video director. There is a lot of room to get deeper into a creative video role, especially outside of Sunday services.
Video Director — The person in this role directs the camera operators to setup shots, then switches between them and includes the appropriate media coming from ProPresenter to create both the livestream source and a recording of the service.
Livestream Tech — Sets up and monitors the livestream connection and feedback.
Producer — The producer oversees and directs the production team, mitigates any issues, and communicates with other teams to ensure a smooth service.
Contact Rick Frye or use the Serve form on this page to express interest in the tech team.
