THE POWER OF MUSIC IN WORSHIP
Scripture beautifully highlights the role of music in worship, celebrating joy and deepening spiritual understanding. In Psalm 95:1, we’re invited to "Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord," while Ephesians 5:19 encourages us to "singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart." Music isn’t just an art form; it’s a heartfelt expression of praise, gratitude, and a powerful tool for sharing spiritual wisdom.
The Bible offers inspiring examples of music's importance—think of ancient Israel's triumphant songs, Paul and Silas lifting their voices in prison, and the celestial melodies depicted in Revelation. Music is more than a gift; it’s a divine blessing meant to glorify God and strengthen the community of believers.
Music has a remarkable ability to shape our environment. Culturally, we have recognized its profound influence, allowing it to enrich every moment of our daily experience. Let us embrace this gift, using music to uplift our spirits and connect with one another as we worship and rejoice together (a compilation of postings regarding the impact of music).

JOIN THE WORSHIP TEAM
We’re excited that you’re interested in being a part of the worship team at Summit Community Church! It is a fun, challenging, and rewarding ministry. If God has gifted you with musical or technical talent, we want you to be able to use it for His glory!
This is a somewhat complex ministry with many moving parts. So, for your advantage and that of the worship ministry as a whole, there is a short process to become a regularly scheduled member of the worship team.
First Steps
This is a somewhat complex ministry with many moving parts. So, for your advantage and that of the worship ministry as a whole, there is a short process to become a regularly scheduled member of the worship team.
First Steps
- Prayerfully consider your involvement.
- Complete the Summit Worship Application and return it to our church office.
- If you would rather meet in person for the audition please indicate this on the application, then someone on the worship leadership team will contact you about your application and schedule an audition time.
- Once you submit your application, someone on the worship leadership team will communicate with you prior to the rehearsal, about the song or songs for your audition. Usually we ask that you bring one song prepared that you love to sing. We also ask that you become familiar with one of the four songs in the audition packet and be prepared to present it during your audition. If you are doing a vocal audition, we will specifically look at harmony parts in addition to melody. For vocalists, we will also identify your vocal range.
- Auditions are, by nature, a little intimidating. We will try to make the process as relaxed as possible. In some cases, it may be evident that an applicant’s skills have not developed enough to serve on a regularly scheduled basis. Should this be the case, those conducting the audition will give some advice on how the applicant can improve. After some time and practice another audition may be scheduled.
