Join the Countryside Worship Team

Audition Information:
Thank you for your interest in auditioning for our worship experiences at Countryside Christian Church! Our musicians and vocalists serve various ministries of our church, from Countryside Youth to Countryside YA, as well as our campus weekend experiences. We wouldn’t be able to do any of this without our serve teams!
Our audition process contains four steps: Conversation, Audition, Interview, and Onboarding. Being a part of the Countryside Worship team is not about showcasing ability, but about serving. We follow the model that Jesus came to serve, not to be served. In that, we want to get to know more about you and make sure that you would fit in with our team well! From there we will begin and complete the formal audition process — all the steps are detailed below. After that we will begin the onboarding process and get you plugged in to one of our teams as soon as possible!
Our audition process contains four steps:
1.Conversation
2. Audition(Submitted & Live)
3. Interview
4. Onboarding
Being a part of the Countryside Worship team is not about showcasing ability but pouring into our community by leading people to become fully dedicated worshippers with a servant's heart, where people can encounter Jesus. We want to get to know more about you and make sure that you would jive well with our team dynamics! From there we will complete the formal audition — all the steps are detailed below. After that we will begin the onboarding process and get you plugged in to one of our teams as soon as possible!
There are two different steps in the audition process: Submit a video audition, as well as schedule a live audition/interview with your campus worship pastor/ministry worship leader. Both steps are needed to complete the audition process.
These resources are intended to give you an idea of how to prepare outside of rehearsal spaces. This is a good indication of communication within our campus worship teams. The process of listening to content and preparing at home is very similar to preparing for our services. All of our campuses utilize in-ear monitoring and Multitracks. Click-track competency is essential for each musician and vocalist.
