Winning In Every Worship Experience!

Elder Cornelius Young & Min. Shelayna Parker

Defeating the myth that the worship experience is a battle ground between sound, music, and the pulpit. A practical approach to taking multiple components of the worship experience to create one sound that is fitly joined together.


CHECK 1: THE SOUND

CHECK 2: THE WINNING

CHECK 3: THE EXPERIENCE



11 And it came to pass when the priests came out of the

Most Holy Place (for all the priests who were present had

sanctified themselves, without keeping to their divisions),

12 and the Levites who were the singers, all those of

Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, with their sons and

their brethren, stood at the east end of the altar, clothed

in white linen, having cymbals, stringed instruments and

harps, and with them one hundred and twenty priests

sounding with trumpets--


13 indeed it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers

were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising

and thanking the LORD, and when they lifted up their voice

with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music,

and praised the LORD, saying:

“For He is good, For His mercy endures forever,”[a]

that the house, the house of the LORD, was filled with a

cloud,

14 so that the priests could not continue ministering

because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the

house of God.

2O my God, I cry in the daytime, but

thou hearest not; and in the night

season, and am not silent. 3But thou

art holy, O thou that inhabitest the

praises of Israel.”

Let’s Define Each Term!

Full Inner Communication

Each ministry communicates amongst themselves so that each

member of the department is aware of ministry details (i.e. when, where, what, how)

Full Collaboration

Each ministry has come together in an effort to contribute to the

overall vision of the worship experience.

Full Preparation

Each ministry is fully equipped to execute the targeted vision of the

worship experience.

*Preparing for the weekly worship experience has a greater effect when the larger picture becomes the backdrop for the weekly plan.

CHECKING

SOUNDTHE


Turn System On

•Turn on all equipment- this includes the audio console,

PA, or anything needed for the service.

•Test all mics and inputs prior to the band arriving:

a. This helps to make for a smooth sound check

b. This will also help cut down on

troubleshooting time if something goes wrong

Sound Engineer’s Advice:



“Turn System On”

Our power is in our (interconnection) unity!

Mutually joined together or related

5 May our dependably steady and warmly personal God

develop maturity in you so that you get along with each

other as well as Jesus gets along with us all.

6 Then we'll be a choir - not our voices only, but our very lives

singing in harmony in a stunning anthem to the God and Father of our Master Jesus!

Interconnected


Check Levels

“Line check”- This is simply going through each channel

and asking each band member or singer to do their part.

This is just to test the input and should not take any longer

then 2 minutes per instrument.

Typically, you start with the first channel you have, or drums.

a. You should ask everyone else not to play during

this time. It goes much faster if everyone is ready to

play and paying attention to the sound man.



Check Levels

As you go through each input, be sure to check with

each band member or singer to make sure they can

hear themselves and that they don’t need any changes.

After completing the “line check,” ask everyone to play

together. This could be high chorus or a full song.

a. This helps everyone to hear the mix, get

warmed up and make any minor changes before

the full sound check.



“Check Levels”

Biblically

Being lined up according to the biblical standard of our particular

area of ministry, with the understanding that our ministry is to be skilled,

spirit-led, and edifying the body of Christ.

Physical Orientation

Continuously participating in activity that will enhance our ministry

i.e. studying, rehearsing, attending trainings/seminars/workshops, etc...

Local Assembly

Lining up with the decorum, order, and theology of your local church.

Having a complete understanding of your craft, it’s

biblical connotation, its physical orientation, and how

it fits in the local assembly.

MusiciansPsalms 150:3-6

The Connection



Adjustments

Lastly, hand the sound check over to the band, choir, or

worship leader. It is now their time to serve. The sound

technician must remain alert and maintain effective

sound for the duration of the service through minor

adjustments, trouble shooting, etc…

*The tech team should always be the earliest. By being early

and preparing, you can limit the potential of errors and

distractions for the service.



“Adjustments”

• Each entity must bring their best to the table in

order to have the ultimate worship experience

• Each entity must differentiate between their

time to minister and their time to support the

ministry of the other entities involved in the

worship experience.

Operating effectively individually while contributing

to the corporate vision for the worship experience.

POINTSREMEMBER

TO


• Learn to Adapt to Changes without compromising

the integrity of the message

• Workers must always have the Mind of God and

the Heart of your Leader

• Learn to Empower Those Around You

(Keep an element of mentorship as a part

of your ministry)


• Be certain that the RIGHT people are in place

“over” and “in” each entity of the worship experience.

• Create an atmosphere of trust amongst all entities

involved in the worship experience.

• Steer clear of “On The Spot” fixes during the worship

experience from items that should have been

addressed during preparation. (Sunday Morning Fix)
