What being part of a Riverside Vineyard Worship Team means
Worship is one of the highest values for us in the Vineyard. Being part of the worship team is a blessing, a privilege and responsibility.
It takes commitment
requires good character
a reasonable proficiency on your instrument / vocals and
a good connection and relationship with the team.
What we aim to do as we lead people in worship is to make it as easy as possible for them to meet with Jesus, come to know Him, worship Him and experience His love for them - ours is a serving role, not a glamorous one.
As part of worship at Riverside Vineyard, we really want you to feel committed to the vision and values of our church community. We don’t have a formal “membership”, but the following are helpful indicators that Riverside Vineyard is home to you:
attending weekend services regularly
being part of a Small Group
serving on a weekend team and,
for your personal benefit and discipleship, giving financially
Our Values in worship:
Intimacy
Integrity
Accessibility
Kingdom Expectation
Passion

Other aspects of your commitment to serving on a Sunday or weekend worship team would be:
Developing your personal relationship with Jesus (worship, bible, prayer)
committing to regular rehearsals
being on time out of respect for other team members
developing your skill and gifting
Mentoring and coaching new team members
We understand that life happens, so when you find you can’t fulfil a commitment:
Please get in touch with your team leader to discuss with them as soon as possible.
If you need to make a swap for a week, please discuss with your team leader who you’re thinking of swapping with and then make the swap directly rather than leave it to your team leader
If you can’t make a rehearsal, please discuss as soon as possible with your team leader whether they’re comfortable with you playing on the weekend - if they aren’t please offer to make a swap.
