Photo/Print Designers

Video Set up/tear down

What?
Don’t just stand outside alone, come on in and set up a microphone (as well as the other sound equipment). This opportunity is for people interested in the ‘behind-the-scenes’ work that goes on each week. So if you’re comfortable around speakers, amps, microphones and cables, we’d love an extra hand.

When?
7:00AM to 8:30AM and/or 11:30AM to 12:30PM

Who?
Ages 13+

What?
Big ears could be a plus for this opportunity. We need people who know how to work a sound board (or would like to learn) and have good ears to help us put out good sound. We’re still learning so if you already have experience in this area we’d love to learn some tricks and practices from you. You’ll set sound levels on stage and in the room, record the service for our podcasts and monitor the mix throughout the service.

Who?

Media
What?
This opportunity is for people who are comfortable clicking a mouse and trying new things on a computer.

These people provide the connection between the stage and the audience for both the music and message.

When?
Practice every week on Tuesday at either 7:00pm or 8:30 (depending on the team that you are on). Play on Sunday every other week. Arrive at church by 7:45 on the week you are playing. A minimum of 2 hours a week of practice on your own in order to memorize music is also required.

What?
Do you have creative ideas on how we can set up the stage to look good and go with the theme of the message, then this is the position for you.
