1. Have a weekly
communication between leader and team members
The worship leader/minister should
strive to have a one on one with members of the team; this can be deliberately
setting out to talk with different members of the team on different days of the
week. This creates a sense of well being as the members feel that they belong
and are cared for. The leader will also
use this opportunity to bond with the team members and minister to the members
on a personal level
2. Blog:
maintain a blog or a social media page open only to members of the
team. Items that can be posted on this
are:
Upcoming events
Housekeeping issues
Rosters for different activites, e.g
uniform roster, song leaders for the month, musicians for the month, schedule
of leaders for the different services,
Contacts for team members,
Code of conduct for members of the
team
Any announcements e.g newborn
births, birthdays, anniversaries of members etc
3. Have a weekly devotional for the
worship team members which can be posted on the blog
4. Develop a manual detailing expectations
and duties responsibilities of worship team members
Manual can contain, entry and exit
of members, purchase of uniforms, code of conduct for members, practice dates, management
of resources and otputs of worship team among others
5. Have a library of materials, accessable
to your team members with literature/music that will grow the team members. This will help your members quickly become on
the same page on many issues. Hebs 10: 3
…By the renewal of your mind’ What we put in we speak out, as a man thinks
so is he. Influence your members
readership by availing to them Godly resources.
6. Have a worship team secretariat that maintains
a diary of birthdays of members and have surprise cards or a note send to the
members on their birthdays and anniversaries.
7. Have a list of upcoming songs that the
members are expected to know and play (for musicians) available on a monthly
basis. This will help minimize on
surprises on stage. Remember practice
makes perfect.
8. Develop a forum where members share
their prayer requests with the team
members. There are several ways this can
be done.
Group the members into prayer teams
Have the members have a prayer
partner from the team
Have a place where the team puts
their prayer requests which are then randomly picked and distributed to team
members for prayer during the week.
9. Have a way of receiving feedback from
the team members and from the congregation as well, on how to become better
worshippers.
