LifeSong

 "Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation."

Psalms 95:1

CrossBridge is a worshipping community. While we encourage and embrace a variety of worshipping expressions, we cherish our heritage as a people who sing. Singing is a component of worship. However, we take seriously and embrace joyfully the witness of the songs we sing.

We recognize not everyone has the gift of music or singing, but those who do we encourage to consider being a part of LifeSong. The best way to do that is to come to our very low key singing class on Wednesday nights in the auditorium. As we discern intentional growth in your walk with Jesus, musical gifting, and the time and capacity necessary to participate well, then we will ask you to sign a "LifeSong Covenant" and onboard you as a part of the team. Our singers lead on stage and are positioned in parts using hand-held microphones. We do our best to schedule our singers no more than twice a month, though we appreciate flexibility on this as seasons change and people get busy.

What You Should Expect From LifeSong

Participating in LifeSong is a privilege and honor. 

Members of LifeSong can expect

  • The joy of worshipping God and enjoying his presence as we lead others to encounter him
  • Opportunities to serve at regular intervals on the LifeSong team.
  • Support, in the form of a broad range of resources.  You are not required to read sheet music! We utilize a program called Planning Center in which we provide sheet music, recordings, and other arrangements to help in learning the songs we sing. Upon signing the “LifeSong Agreement” and beginning to regularly serve with us, you will receive the login information from Zach Brantley.
  • Never to be embarrassed—no one will ever be intentionally embarrassed or “put on the spot” to do something for which they are not realistically prepared or comfortable
  • Satisfaction and the whole range of emotions that come from being part of ministry—a strong feeling of responsibility and of making a difference in peoples’ lives (in some cases an eternal difference) by directly influencing the quality of praise and worship in the Lord’s church at CrossBridge.
  • Growth in singing ability, in appreciation for worship and service, in love for a small group of special servants with a common gift and love of music, and in love for the Lord.
  • Mutual accountability so that each member do his or her best, “all for HIS glory.”

What LifeSong Expects From You

Below are the tenets of a simple “LifeSong Covenant” which is asked of each participant:

  • Continue to learn, grow and mature as a disciple of Jesus
  • Really worship God, and not merely sing notes
  • Adequately prepare for rehearsals and services by taking time to practice on one's own time as needed
  • Report to rehearsals, soundchecks, and services on time
  • Dress modestly, appropriately and professionally for services to avoid being a distraction to others
  • Respond promptly to emails from Zach Brantley  regarding scheduling by blocking out dates on Planning Center
  • Communicate need for a substitute to Zach Brantley as quickly as possible in the event a conflict arises
  • Consider the holy burden of leading worship and have a heart for worship
