QUALIFICATIONS
INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL LIFE CHARACTERIZED BY SUBMISSION TO CHRIST. It’s important for the Worship Leader to authentically set an example of being characterized by worshiping with their whole life and not just in a compartmentalized or hypocritical way.
ALIGNMENT WITH RIVER CITY’S VISION, MISSION, AND CORE VALUES. Read an in-depth description of our vision, mission, and core values HERE.
ALIGNMENT WITH RIVER CITY’S WORSHIP MINISTRY CORE VALUES AND PRINCIPLES FOR LEADERSHIP. We believe that the regular corporate gathering of River City Church plays a unique and indispensable role in carrying out the vision and mission of our church. Since musical worship is an important part of those gatherings, it’s important for candidates to be aligned with our theology and practice as it relates to musical worship and how it connects to our vision and mission. Read about River City’s worship ministry core values and principles for leadership HERE.
REGULAR INVOLVEMENT WITH A RIVER CITY SMALL GROUP. Since small groups are the mission of our church, it’s important that those in visible roles of leadership in our church be examples of living out our collective mission.
AFFIRMS AND PRACTICES RIVER CITY’S PRINCIPLES FOR “COLLECTIVE WITNESS”. Please listen to the audio clip linked in THIS document from our membership class session about "Collective Witness."
WILLING TO BECOME A MEMBER OF RIVER CITY CHURCH. This is not a requirement for being on the worship team but it is for being a Worship Leader. That’s because the more visible you are as a leader in the church, the more important it is that you’ve formally committed yourself to the vision and mission of the church as well as coming under the leadership and direction of the Elders.

Certainly there are extreme examples where a volunteer doesn't want to be led by anyone, which is certainly a problem. But generally, if you’re leading with authentic character that’s shaped by the gospel then everyone will likely have a life-giving experience on the team because you’re treating them with gentleness and respect.
CHARACTERIZED BY CONSISTENCY AND RESPONSIBILITY. No one is perfect and we certainly don’t expect you to be flawless. However, a qualified candidate needs to be willing and able to: be the most prepared person on the team, meet deadlines throughout the week, and communicate in a timely manner with their supervisor and volunteers.
POSSESSES THE NECESSARY SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE TO EFFECTIVELY LEAD MUSICAL WORSHIP. We’re not expecting candidates to be professional musicians, but they need to be sufficiently skilled and experienced to lead the church in musical worship. A qualified candidate will be able to lead vocally as well as instrumentally from guitar and/or piano.
