Team Ministry Application Form

You have to be either a registered adult member (who has completed New Family Class) or a youth who is in grade 9 and up to apply for team ministry positions.

*Some teams require extra qualifications due to the nature of their ministry or the people they minister to.

Tip: * Choose ONE team and then choose roles you are interested in serving from the dropdown. (if not listed, just choose "Team Member" in the team you want to join and explain in the comment section.)

Reason for extra process & qualifications (For Vocal & Instrument)

Given the unique demands of praise team ministry, which require both musical skill and essential qualities such as spirituality, humility, and team chemistry, as well as the significant weekly impact on the congregation's worship experience—both sonically and spiritually—joining a praise team should involve a more rigorous selection process. This is not to promote elitism but to ensure the fullest benefit of the entire congregation.

Extra qualifications

  • Baptism / Confirmation
  • Living Life completion (for adults) / One youth bible study completion (for youth)
  • Grade 11 and up (for youth)
  • Adequate musical skill to play on the stage immediately or through minimal practice
