Applied Ministry Goals
August 9, 2009
On August 17th the Fall semester officially starts. I will be taking Applied Ministry, Integrative Seminar, Oratorio Chorus, and one online class; hopefully New Testament II. (provided there is still room – I cannot register for online classes until the 17th)
I’ve got another 2-3 semesters to finish up my degree.
These are the goals that I have set with Lee Anne for Applied Ministry this fall.
(NOTE: This was edited on September 10th to reflect the final revision of my goals)
Continue to develop musical skills used in leading worship.
- Develop skill on guitar and piano adequate to lead worship with an instrument, both solo and with a worship team. Put skills into practice during Sunday services. Meet weekly with Lee Anne Turner for lessons and goal setting. Create and add to a repertoire list evidencing songs prepared on each instrument.
- Write at least four new worship songs, with coaching from Lee Anne Turner, as well as other worship team members.
Coordinate worship services.
- Participate in creative service planning for special services, as well as Sunday morning services. Communicate with staff about sermon topics and how they relate to music preparation. Attend staff meetings along with worship director on the third Tuesday of each month, and special meetings as needed.
- Assist in scheduling the worship team for Sunday morning services. (Team of 15-20 members including singers, instrumentalists, and sound/media personnel.)
Grow in knowledge and experience of technology that helps to support corporate worship.
- Set up and maintain a planningcenteronline.com account for the Highland Vineyard worship team (Create user accounts for team, add charts and mp3 links, use for scheduling and generating service orders.)
- Run live sound and projection for church services and team rehearsals as needed when not leading musically. Become familiar with equipment needs and budget.
- Assist Media Director, Rick Mathley with video production and other media projects from week to week.
- Experience a recording studio environment during the Fall Worship Team CD project. Learn the software program Sonar, assist producer as needed.
