The only way to join is to audition for a panel. We periodically audition for new singers to let new people who have talent in this area join in. After that, most of them will take a lead roll in leading worship on Sundays and Wednesdays. The worship singers practice every Sunday during two of the three services and are asked to commit to sing at a minimum of six services per month. They must attend the practice corresponding to the Sunday or Wednesday they plan to sing at.
Rehearsal lasts for about two hours.
Also, rehearsal tapes are available that singers can practice during the week. Now, the band never practices - at least not together. They use the rehearsal tapes to practice individually and then work out the songs on Sunday morning before the first service. We see the church as the group of people who have committed themselves to Jesus Christ and to membership in Clovis Hills - so in that sense we are already building the church. As far as building or permanent facilities goes, our philosophy has been to wait until we could buy enough land to keep us constantly growing without size restrictions.
