Worship Team

As with our church, our worship team exists to help us to KNOW Jesus more, GROW in His life together, and encourage us to SHOW His love to each other and our community. Worship is our life's statement to Jesus, and one of the ways we connect with Him is through singing to Him. We have so many things we can express to Him in music. We sing songs that talk about who He is, we express songs of prayer, we sing about about theological ideas, we deepen our commitment to Him as we sing songs of surrender, and we get excited about our faith as we sing songs of revival.

Our worship team is a collection of  musicians and singers who desire to connect with the church body at Crossroads and encourage them to draw near to God and worship Him, not just through music but with their lives, bringing glory to Him. Our worship team recognizes that it's a privilege to lead our church community in worship, and it's an honor for us to help our church community however we are able. Our corporate gatherings are basically just a bigger version of a small group of believers gathering to grow together in the Lord,  deciding to sing a worship song or two, and asking a person if they can lead the singing because they are gifted in music. It's  not really about the person leading, it's about facilitating the community in their desire to lift up worship together, draw near to God, and hear His voice in a dynamic way.

Because we desire to draw near to God in the setting of praise and worship, many of the gatherings at Crossroads use worship teams as part of their service. Whether it's Children's Ministry, Student Ministries, College/Young Adults, Men's and Women's, Singles or Sunday Services in the Sanctuary, they all look forward to sharing times of worship together. As a result, there are many needs and opportunities in the area of worship leading and worship ministry.

In order to give prospective musicians and singers a clear avenue to become a part of the various worship ministries in our church, we have a structured audition process that looks at the scope of both spiritual and musical talents. Current ministry needs are taken into consideration, and we work hard to find the best fit for both the individual and the ministry.

We hope that you enjoy your worship experience with us at Crossroads, and thanks again for stopping by!

How To Get Involved

If you want to serve the Lord in the area of music in the worship ministry at Crossroads, this starts by feeling called to be a part of worship ministry. What does that look like? It's different for everybody, but "calling" simply means an urge that comes from God to serve Him in a certain way. He enables the calling to work through gifting, natural ability, and desire, but at the same time it's vital that this calling is done in His strength and with His blessing.

Before becoming involved in volunteering at Crossroads in a leadership capacity like the worship ministry, it's important that you are a part of the Crossroads church body. We ask that you take time to get a feel for the ministry and ask God if He is calling you to be a part of our Crossroads church family, and ask questions of the staff if you are exploring your commitment to the church. Our worship ministry is a group of believers who are serving other believers, giving back to the community that they are a part of.

We hold open auditions once each year, and welcome vocalists and instrumentalists age 18 and over that fit the above criteria to participate.
