Welcome! We’re excited that you’re interested in being part of the RISE Production Team. Some of our roles include: audio, lighting, ProPresenter, livestream, cameras, stage design, and related support roles.

As you explore this opportunity, we use a simple process called S.H.A.P.E. to help guide you every step of the way.

S — Standards & Steps will walk you through our expectations, team culture, and what comes next.

H — Heart Check is a questionnaire designed to help us understand your spiritual journey and passion for worship and serving.

A — Alignment Meeting gives us a chance to sit down together, get to know you, and schedule your audition or technical evaluation.

P — Presentation is your audition or hands-on evaluation, where you can share your gifts, abilities, and potential.

E — Engage is where you begin shadowing the team, developing your skills, and getting added to the schedule when you're ready.

Our desire is to build a team that serves with excellence, humility, unity, and a heart for Christ—both on the platform and behind the scenes.

Church Attendance & Involvement

Because serving on the RISE Production Team is an extension of our church community, we ask that individuals establish a consistent pattern of attendance and involvement at RISE before joining the team.

Individuals may begin exploring production roles and participating in supervised shadowing and training before completing six months of attendance, as appropriate. However, consistent attendance, a commitment to RISE, and demonstrated readiness are expected before serving independently or being added to the regular schedule.

Below, you will discover the expectations and next steps of this process. If you are in agreement, please click the button at the bottom to let me know you're ready to move forward and receive the pre-audition spiritual questionnaire.

Production Team Expectations

Serve

Be a servant first. The most effective leaders are those who serve with humility, whether on the platform, behind a console, or working behind the scenes.

It’s Not About Me

Our focus is always the Lord and the people we are serving—not ourselves. Every role matters in helping create an environment where people can encounter Christ.

Lead

Lead by example both on and off the stage. Our lives should reflect the message we help communicate through worship, production, and service.

Prepare

Come prepared. Rehearsal is not for learning your part—it is where prepared individuals come together and function as one body with one purpose (Romans 15:6).

Production team members should understand their cues, transitions, and responsibilities before rehearsal begins.

Presence Over Preference

Our goal is to point people to Christ. You may not love every song, style, lighting cue, or creative element, and you may deeply connect with others. What matters most is that Jesus is honored and people are led into worship with excellence and unity.

Excellence Without Distraction

We are not here to impress; we are here to serve. Whether mixing audio, running lights, presenting lyrics, or managing visuals, we aim to do simple things with excellence rather than advanced things poorly or distractingly.

Be On Time

Start time means ready to begin—not arriving. Please allow yourself enough time to set up, troubleshoot, warm up, and be fully prepared when rehearsal begins.

Service Presence

Regularly review recorded services and evaluate yourself honestly. Ask:

• Am I engaged and attentive?
• Am I contributing to a worshipful environment?
• What am I communicating to the church and online viewers?
• Am I helping remove distractions or creating them?
• Am I serving with excellence and humility?

Participation Expectations

Being part of the RISE Production Team means more than simply filling a role—it means belonging to the team community. Team members are expected to:

• Attend rehearsals consistently.
• Participate in team prayer.
• Support and encourage one another.

• Maintain a lifestyle that reflects Christ.
• Communicate clearly and responsibly when unavailable.
