I hope to begin to answer that question in this first article as we look at some of the job functions performed by a technical director or sound team leader within the church. As the technical director it is important to know who your boss is. We serve God by attending to the technical needs of the pastor and worship team. This is to be done with a servant s heart and in love for one another. Your choice of words and actions can either inspire or deflate the entire worship team.
Preparation is the key to making any worship or service trouble free.
This includes attention to the planning, functional and technical aspects of the ministry. It is equally important to attend to the spiritual elements of service as well. Arrive well in advance of your scheduled time and spend some time in prayer. God always has the lead in producing an event and it is important that you take the time to ask for his help. Ask the Lord for his presence, wisdom and knowledge.
