Is the audition process like American Idol?
No, not at all. The worship ministry at The Mount is passionate about helping everyone grow in their skills and develop talents. Yes, there is an evaluation assessment process to determine your current abilities, but this is to ensure our teams are properly supported and optimized for growth. Part of your process includes coaching appointments where we take time to assess what volunteer assignment you can take on at the moment, and also make your first recommendations for your personal skill development. We are committed to growth in each volunteer, whether they're brand new to the game or you're ready for the front line.
How often do I serve?
Serving will always depend on how many people are in your current position, and what their skill levels are. Most adult team members serve 1-3 times a month, and at the moment we ask all members to share time between Stafford, Fredericksburg, and Bealeton campuses.
We also serve the Student Ministry weekly through our Student Band for grades 6-12, as well as our Special Needs groups.
Is there a place for me? It seems like you have everyone you need.
This is a very common misconception. Our team members are scheduled as needed, but we are ALWAYS recruiting to include new people. The area we serve here in Virginia unfortunately has a very high turnover rate. Military and government assignments are always moving members in and out on a rapid basis. Often we only have a band member for a few months at a time, meaning we need to prepare for their departure. We also may only have one member for certain positions, which means they often are needed much more often. We put the health of our team members before all else, so no one experiences burnout. In short, we always welcome new additions, whether we have you for 6 months or 16 years!
I have more questions. Can I meet with someone?
Absolutely! We are always available to chat about the ministry or give you some additional coaching or evaluation time if you feel you need that. We also have several teachers who offer private lessons if you're looking for regular developmental support.
