Q&A: How Do I Get Hired As A Worship Leader?

How does someone get hired as a worship leader? Is there a path a person takes to become a paid worship leader at a church? And what are some tips to help navigate the hiring process for a full-time ministry position? Getting hired at a church can be a daunting and mysterious process, so in today’s episode, I try to take some of the mystery out of it and give you practical tips to guide you to the greatest chance of success.

I share three principles for young worship leaders to keep in mind as they aspire to a ministry job. I also break down the five steps most churches take when hiring worship leaders and share practical suggestions on how to successfully navigate each step.

In this episode, I cover: how to find a compatible church, how to write a strong resume and cover letter, what sort of content should be in your “sample video”, how to audition at a church to win over the pastor, the people, and the band members, plus lots more. I hope God uses this episode to guide you as you seek His will for your vocation.
