...In culture and relationships.

Authenticity is our first value because God desires real worship, not performance (John 4:23). It starts in your personal relationship with Jesus, not on the platform. Be who God created you to be. As you grow with Him, that naturally shapes how you lead and helps others engage in genuine worship.

...in vision, values, & communication.

Clarity matters because it helps us move in the same direction as a team (Proverbs 29:18). We stay grounded in God’s Word and our shared values so everyone understands the “why” behind what we do. We also communicate clearly and consistently—so expectations are understood, details aren’t missed, and no one is left guessing. When we’re aligned, we can serve with confidence and unity.

...in growing in Christ and Calling.

Consistency matters because growth in Christ doesn’t happen by accident (1 Timothy 4:7; Galatians 6:9). We prioritize time with God throughout the week—through prayer, Scripture, and a steady pursuit of Him. Faithfulness in the small, everyday moments shapes who we are and how we lead. As we stay consistent, we grow in our calling and encourage one another to keep going. Over time, that steady pursuit produces real fruit.

...in the way we serve.

Excellence matters because what we do is ultimately for the Lord (Colossians 3:23–24; Psalm 33:3). We use our gifts and talents to serve God and others with care, preparation, and intentionality, both on and off the platform. Excellence isn't about perfection; it's about giving our best. When we come prepared and serve with purpose, it creates space for distraction-free, meaningful worship.

Worship isn't a solo act—it's something we do together (Philippians 2:1–4). We build unity by living out our values in how we treat each other—being real with one another (authenticity), communicating clearly (clarity), showing up and staying engaged (consistency), and giving our best to support the team (excellence). This means we come ready to participate, encourage each other, and put the team first in rehearsals, services, and everyday life. When we do this well, we don't just sound better—we grow stronger as a team and as disciples.

Growth doesn't happen by accident—it takes intention (Colossians 2:6–7; Psalm 33:3). We pursue growth both spiritually and practically by living out our values—spending time with God (authenticity), understanding what we're leading and why (clarity), practicing regularly (consistency), and giving our best with the gifts we've been given (excellence). This means we come prepared, keep learning, and stay committed to improving over time. As we grow in our faith, character, and skill, we honor God and lead with greater confidence.

 What God has given us isn't meant to be kept—it's meant to be shared (1 Peter 4:10; Psalm 86:11). We live this out by serving others with what we've been given by being real in how we lead (authenticity), encouraging and investing in others (clarity), showing up ready to serve (consistency), and giving our best for God's glory (excellence). This means we use our time, talents, and attitude to lift others while on stage, behind the scenes, and in everyday life. As we give ourselves away, we point people to Jesus.

We require students to be in or above 7th grade to be able to join, and a beginner skill level on their area of focus. Besides those things, they need to have a growing relationship with Jesus, be connected to a small group, and be willing to grow in the SWT Core 4. (Authenticity, Clarity, Consistency, and Excellence)

For those new to an instrument, we offer lessons with the goal of getting the student confident in their instrument and onstage as soon as possible.

Drums, Bass Guitar, Keys, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Vocals, Audio

This process gives you a taste of what its like on the SWT before you make your final commitment.

1. Submit Interest Form
2. Sit-In on a rehearsal and participate in one song with your instrument.
3. Have a short conversation afterward with Ben about your experience, and go over our team values. (Another sit-in can be scheduled if needed)

If this is something you want to continue with, then expect to be put on the schedule within the next couple of weeks after.
