theGATHERING

We all worship something. Around theGATHERING, we realize that worship is a lifestyle and not necessarily a type of music or song choice. Something amazing happens when our individual lives of worship come together, within theGATHERING, and lift up the Name Above All as a group. Many voices, one heart.

Thank you for your interest in serving in the Worship Ministry. Jesus desires true worshipers–those that worship Him in spirit and in truth. As a result, we’re not looking for the biggest, flashiest band to come in and lead worship. We’re looking for believers who drip Jesus. Since the Worship Crew sets the stage for so many others, you will be required to be a member of First Euless and an active attendee of theGATHERING. If that sounds like something you would prayerfully consider, please engage in conversation with us!

Here are a few other thigns to consider before you start the process of leading worship at theGATHERING, please make sure that Jesus is your treasure, that you are satisfied in Him alone, and that the approval of men is not something after which you seek. We can all avoid a train wreck of bitterness, anger, and hatred from the start. Our purpose is to edify you, give you the place to serve with the talents God has given, and grow the gifts for the joy of others.

Some considerations:

• First and foremost, you must be a believer in Jesus Christ. Sure, you can play the guitar; but you can’t be a lead-worshipper if you aren’t a child of God.
• We need commitment and faithfulness in anyone who is leading our people. The rule of higher standard applies here. You’re visible, so you must be a lead-worshipper.

The Goal:

Everything we do at theGATHERING is to glorify God. We do that by making much of the true-gospel and giving people the ability to respond to this truth. Truth demands a response. Worship is that response where we allow Scripture to seep through, encourage, convict, and motivate us to live the gospel.

What are the roles of the worship team?

• model (Romans 12:1)
• servant (2 Timothy 2:24)
• teacher (I Corinthians 14:26)

What characteristics should you have?

1. Excellence without distraction–We seek to pray, sing, play, and proclaim God’s Word in such a way that attention would be drawn to God and Christ (2 Timothy 4:2) not to man.
2. Joy (1 Thessalonians 5:16; Psalm 66:1)
3. Authenticity-We communicate from the heart and mind, not only from the mouth (John 1:47; John 4:23).
4. Maturity (Ephesians 4:14-15)
5. Humility (Romans 12:3; Colossians 3:12)
6. Transparency–Because of our security in the unconditional love of the Father, we can be honest in our playing and singing (Proverbs 12:17, 19)
7. Sensitivity–We must be able to discern God’s Spirit and yield to His leading (Romans 8:26)
8. Sound Doctrine–We still study and know God’s Word so that we may be able to worship in spirit and in truth (John 4:23; Psalm 119:162)
