CHURCH CHOIR APPLICATION

1) Any person who desires to be a member must be at least 16 years of age or
older.

2) To be a member of the choir, you must have repented, been baptized in Jesus
name, and received the gift of the Holy Ghost, and also must be living an
overcoming life as a Christian.

3) A person may become a member of the choir three months after being born again,
and with the pastor’s approval.

4) A Choir member must be in every practice. If three practices are missed within
the space of two months, the choir member will be asked to withdraw from the
choir for a period of time-at the director’s discretion. (Special situations
must be approved by the pastor)

5) Permission must be obtained from the choir director in order to sing in
service if you have missed the practice for that night.

6) If you are late three times, it will be considered equivalent to missing one
practice. Unless you are. over 1/2 hour late, then it is automatically
equivalent to one whole practice. (Only in exceptional cases will tardies be
excused)

7) Children who are brought to choir practice will be made to sit out on the pews
alone without causing any distractions. The parents of children who cause
disturbances will be asked to leave the practice and take charge of their
children.

8) All members should have a daily prayer life and should pray for the choir
specifically, especially on nights we will be singing.

9) In order to practice with the choir, you must agree to be cooperative and
submit yourself to the leader. During practices, be patient and keep noise to a
minimum while other parts are being taught.

10) Choir practice will be every Sunday from 4-5 p.m. If you are late, you will be
infringing on the leader and all other members and wasting time. It is going
to take a united effort to make this a group that can bless the whole church.
BE ON TIME!!! (Plan to be early to make sure you are on time)

11) Have a Spirit-filled attitude! Have a sweet attitude! Have an excited
attitude! Be courteous and thoughtful to your fellow choir members. Have a
positive attitude! Be loyal to the cause. Lift up and be supportive of each
other. Do not say unkind words to or about another choir member. Do not
gossip. BE A CHRISTIAN!!!

12) WORSHIP, WORSHIP, WORSHIP!! Worship with all your heart!
