Worship Team Application – St. Paul Catholic Church

The Application Process

Dear Applicant, Thank you for showing your interest in joining the Worship Team at St Paul Catholic Church. We are thrilled that you are interested in being a part of our team, and we are looking forward to seeing what God has planned for us. Everyone must audition to join this team. The audition process is not intended to intimidate anyone, but instead to encourage believers to use their God-given gifts to fulfill the mission for Christ. The process will help determine whether you are called to serve with the Worship Team or another Ministry within the Church. We are committed to your growth as a disciple of Christ and as a worship team member. Please complete the entire application form to help us get to know you better. There are certain expectations that will come with serving in this Ministry of the church. Once you complete and submit the application and required materials, you will receive an email from Alan Black at music@spaulcc.org with instructions for the next step in the process. Thank you!
