- Select appropriate worship music for the week. The selections of music should be diverse and feature a mixture of both traditional hymns and contemporary songs and choruses. The worship song selection will take into consideration the unique giftedness of the worship ministry volunteers so as to add variety to the line-up each week.
- Lead worship and perform (sing and/or play) along with the worship team each Sunday during the morning worship service.
- Take responsibility for the summer rehearsal sessions which will take place each Sunday morning @ 8:30 am.
- Generate and distribute the Order of Service to the KBC staff, worship team members, A/V team members.
