Team Qualifications
& Expectations

Committed Member of Awaken Church: It is important that every team member has a strong commitment to the leadership and people of our church. To be effective, we must be united as a team and pursuing the same vision as our lead Pastors Jurgen and Leanne.

Spiritual Maturity: Anyone who is in a position to serve in high visibility is in a position of influence — our congregation will automatically see those on the stage as leaders. Our goal is to honor the platform on which we serve by honoring the Lord and the leaders who have built it, creating an intimate atmosphere to lead our church into worship.

Musical and Technical Competency: The privilege to lead our church into worship is not a casual hobby, but a focused and intentional craft. Musicians and singers need to be proficient and practiced, with a level of competency that will enhance atmosphere onstage. All teammates must be prepared to develop, extend and fine-tune their gifts.

Availability: To grow in unity and skill as a team, it is of the utmost importance we meet together to be inspired, to learn and to practice. Attending Team Nights, pre-service rehearsals, Develop Nights, and various other team events are a part of our team culture. It is important to understand the time commitment necessary to not only hone a craft, but to build community.

Support of Family: It is important that your immediate family is aware of the time commitments necessary, and that they are excited and supportive of your ministry efforts, as they are just as much a part of our family as you are.

Integrate With the Team: Great technical talent is highly valued, however flexibility within your craft is just as crucial. The ability to blend and flow with the team is of the greatest value, in regards to skill as well as service flow, song selections, and various other potential variables.

Living by Biblical Principles and Standards: To serve on an elevated platform is an honor and a responsibility to be stewarded seriously, and also guarded mindfully. The mantle of responsibility is not something we take lightly, and we place heavy emphasis on the position of our team members' hearts. Some examples of Biblical standards we uphold are as follows:

  • A deep connection with Jesus, through prayer and study of His Word
  • Rooted, healthy relationships within Awaken Church and on the worship team
  • Regular attendance to Awaken Church services (not only when serving)
  • Respect and honor of processes and systems, teammates and leaders
  • Alignment with the vision and culture of not only our worship team, but Awaken Church and our lead pastors
  • Social media presence that emphasizes a spirit of joy, leadership and authenticity, with posts drawing viewers closer to Jesus, not further away
  • No gossip or slander
  • No causing division within the team
  • No drug or alcohol abuse
  • No sexual misconduct (including but not limited to premarital or unBiblical sexual activity, pornography, living with a significant other, sexual harassment, overly sexualized appearance)
I affirm my life aligns with Awaken culture and Biblical principles listed above; there is no habitual activity in my life that conflicts with these values. *
