11-Questions-Committees-Should-Ask-Potential-Worship-Leaders

On Wednesday, we published a list of 11 questions worship leaders should ask search committees. Because interviewing is a two-way process, today we are posting 11 questions for the search committee to ask.

  1. What do you consider the main responsibilities of a worship leader in the life of the church?
  2. What is your theology of worship and how has it impacted the way you plan and lead?
  3. Why do you want to lead worship at this church?
  4. How have you worked with a worship committee and other ministry staff to plan individual services as well as themes for later in the calendar year?
  5. What does your weekly schedule look like?
  6. What music do you listen to?
  7. What is your music involvement outside the church?
  8. What does your personal worship life look like?
  9. How familiar are you with worship technology?
  10. How do you recruit people to participate in various roles?
  11. What skill level do you require of musicians and others participating in some way?
