Emmaus Worship

Music + Production for King Jesus

We serve the local church by singing, playing instruments, and leveraging technology to craft inviting environments of Jesus-centered worship.

“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!” - Revelation 5:12

Music Audition Info

We conduct auditions for all music positions, including our main stage, student, and kids environments. If you have a heart to use your musical gifting to serve, there's a place for you in Emmaus Worship! Please read through the sections below so you fully understand the process and expectations for auditioning.

The basic steps for completing an audition at Emmaus are:

  1. Prepare the song(s) below and prepare to perform them for our team.
  2. Send us a *video or schedule an **in-person audition.
  3. Expect feedback/next steps.

*Please ensure we can see and hear you if you choose to make a video. It does not have to be edited or professional. You may also use accompaniment (a track or another musician) in the video, but again, please make sure we hear your part.

**In-person auditions are conducted in front of one or more current team members from the stage in the main worship center. Accompaniment is provided from tracks and a metronome and guide cues will be running.

Please prepare the following song according to the instrument(s) you want to audition for. If you will audition for more than one part, please prepare the assigned songs accordingly.

For vocal parts, adjust the key to comfortably fit your voice. For instrumental parts, please prepare to play the original key of the recording.

We evaluate all auditions based on the following:

  • Knowledge: clear evidence of knowing the music
  • Confidence: boldness in singing/playing to be ready to lead others on stage
  • Technic: *timing, pitch, rhythm, tone, stage presence
  • Humility: teachable spirit and desire to serve the church

*Our team plays with a metronome on every song. To join the team, all team members must be able to play/sing in time with the metronome. In-person auditions are conducted with the metronome.

Production Team

The Production Team supports what is happening on the stage and seeks to create the most focused experiences for as many people as possible. Leveraging audio, video, media, and lighting, these team members work together to shape and adapt to the changes happening as events unfold. We want our audio to be excellent in the room and online, video to be clear and focused, media to be engaging and not distracting, and lighting to serve the focus of each moment.

If you have an interest in technology and a heart for critical behind-the-scenes support, this team is for you!
