TEN (10) LEADERSHIP TIPS ON COMMUNICATION WITHIN A WORSHIP TEAM

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.

10.       The leadership team should create an opportunity for review of the immediate past service.  This will act as a capture basket for small issues which can easily become mountains, and, it also acts as an instant feedback for input for the next service
