Our worship bands are vital to the corporate worship experience at Valley View. We encourage opportunities for musical and spiritual growth and for fellowship and community within our bands. Our goal is to help our band members balance their time at church between playing music and being with their families. Therefore, we rotate band members weekly to allow time for both.
What Our Worship Ministry Expects of Band Members?
- To attend on average a minimum of 3 out of 4 rehearsals*
- To be on time and ready to play as often as possible during services assigned to you
- To be supportive of our pastor and somehow involved in the life of Valley View church
- To seek to grow as a worshiper of God and become more like Jesus
What Band Members Can Expect from Our Worship Ministry?
- To be prepared and intentional with leading rehearsals so as not waste anyone’s valuable time
- To lead the band with enthusiasm and excellence
- To support the vision and leadership of our pastor and elders
- To be godly leaders who care for those involved in our worship ministry and seek the Lord’s direction for our ministry
