HOW CAN I MAKE SURE EVERY WEEK IS A WIN? By getting a full mix that encourages worship without distortion or feedback. How does this ministry “reach the lost at any cost and grow them to maturity”? (our Mission Statement) We play contemporary worship music that is similar in style to what is being played on popular radio. It is well rehearsed and professionally presented to attract a non-churched audience as well as being a draw to young and older Christians alike. We use modern instruments such as guitars, drums, percussion and electronic keys. Which of the 5 Biblical purposes does this ministry fulfill? Worship - The worship being through personal and corporate worship Evangelism - in reaching out to the lost through popular media and preparing hearts for the message.

You will have access to our website http://www.parkwayfellowship.com/pwteam/music/ to listen and learn your music in advance of rehearsal. The new songs will be posted no later than the Monday of the week you are to do sound. How long is this going to take me every week? You will be required to be at church on the days you serve from 7:30 to 12:30 PM plus a Wednesday night rehearsal the Wednesday before you serve. What do I do if I can’t be there? You must notify Pat by the Monday before the Sunday you are scheduled to do sound so he can find a replacement for you. What if I have a friend that wants to join the sound team?
