Worship Team Annual Assessment

Team Assessment

There are many ways to review with your team how the past year has gone. An annual assessment can help measure progress. It helps you plan for specific things you'd like to do in the future.

This input and lessons learned are wonderful. Improvements can be discussed together. Before trying new ideas that might not work, use this time during annual assessment to discuss them.

Just make sure you plan a couple hours, or at least enough time so each member can contribute. Having a weekend retreat, if you can work it out with your pastor, has many benefits.

Plan what you'd like to review. That way, your time will be better utilized and the group stays more focused. Have fun and enjoy one another.

Team Member Assessment

1 Peter 4:10 tells us to use our gifts to serve others. 1 Chronicles 25:7 mentions the musicians who served in the temple were trained, not just skilled.

The objective of this assessment is to review your passion for worship, musical skills and spiritual growth. You should not be expected to serve continually without time to assess if this is still the best way to give your best.

Here are some suggested tools to help:

Complete Spiritual Growth evaluation.

This is an individual exercise to record what has encouraged you over the past year. It may consist of highlights, notes, or whatever form to measure progress, challenges, and areas to grow in for the future.

Review with Team Leader the obligations for a Team Member.

To look at things as if they were new, as items for discussion or improvement is good for everyone.

Apply Personal Development Plan

What plans do you have you'd like to implement for the future? This might include private or group lessons, Bible study, participating in a small group, listening to certain artist or styles of music, etc.

Whatever you do, write these things down. That's helpful now and later.
