all worship leaders need to watch this video!!
Grettings from México i saw your videos and so great for me because in spanish not have any like this. God Bless you ministries and see you. Blessings.
This is good. As the volunteer sound guy, it really gets on my nerves when we are told to show up at 8:00 on Sunday morning, just to sit around and wait 45 minutes for the band to finally get on stage and ready...
Rusty Painter Yeah, I'd probably be frustrated too. Things don't always go to plan, but we try to make sure everything's ready to rock when rehearsal time comes.
Great tips! Can be applied to many types of volunteers, not just within the church.
My church doesn't pay our volunteers. We used to have a worship arts minister that we would pay to lead worship, but we let him go because we decided to have people in the church congregation that have talent lead worship. Our associate minister is in charge of the whole thing.
thank you for this.......its very valuable......
Hey there Dave, I am a worship leader that served in the states and also in England, and now serving here in Cancún Mexico, I would love to chat with you personally just to get to know you and get some advice.....what you're doing for the body of Christ is very important and i thank you for it..... Be blessed brother.... 😊 🎺
Great work, shared bro!
Great stuff here!
very helpful...
I watched this video as I work with session musicians (i'm not religious). It's interesting to use the words "pay" and "volounteer" in the same sentence. If you have to pay musicians in any way, then they are not volounteers. You're musicians are into God and religion, so surely if they expect to be paid, should you question their faith? The guys I work with are musicians who pay their bills by playing music. If there is no budget, then there are no musicians.
That's a very solid question. When it comes to the local church, it works on people serving and volunteering their time. That goes for people directing traffic in the parking lot, people in the nursery changing diapers, people teaching classes and people playing in the worship band. The reason they do it is because they believe in the mission of their local church and how God works through that to change people's lives. The point I was trying to make in the video was that even though someone might be volunteering in the church (be it musicians or any other volunteer position in the church), their form of "payment" is the feeling you get when you're a part of something bigger than yourself, feeling valued and appreciated and being available to be used by God to make someone else's life better. That non-monetary "payment" has value.
I guess said in the negative, as a musician yourself, maybe you've been in a situation where you played as a volunteer and at the end of the day you felt "used." We NEVER want our volunteers to feel that way.
Practical Worship I see your point. It's more team building, than payment. Good luck with it all. Best wishes.
That's a good way to look at it, yes...
