creative arts
If you’re creatively or technically wired, you’ll feel right at home creating engaging and meaningful services. We are the engine, making church happen across all of our campuses. This involves AV, lighting, sound, stage management, and production. Whether your creative gifts are in music, visual arts, drama, or A/V technology, there are a wide variety of opportunities on the Creative Arts teams to use your creative and technical abilities.
We are so excited that you are interested in being a part of Eastside’s Worship Team! We find a sense of commonality in our desire to worship God with our gifts, our talents, our love for the Church, for Jesus and for God’s people. We have a vision for continuously increasing our worship ministry here at Eastside Christian Church. Auditions are a very practical tool for evaluating the skills and heart of people who feel called to serve on the Worship Team. We want to encourage the pursuit of skill in the music we present to the Lord. If you have a heart to lead others into meaningful worship and you feel you are skilled with your voice and/or instrument, we would love to get to know you!
