He or she must be vocal and instrumental proficient (including experience directing praise teams and leading worship from a keyboard or guitar. A worship leader must be a skilled pianist, guitarist, percussionist, and vocalist, and must be a proven worship leader and band/vocal director. A worship leader must have experience in discipleship ministries. He or she recruits and directs music teams (vocal and instrumental) for weekend service and special events; Leads worship on a regular basis; Assists in selecting music for services and other events; Creates instrumental and vocal lead sheets as needed. He or she is Passionate about worshipping God and leading and equipping others to do the same.
