The tech is how we serve the people on stage and in the room. These are the habits that make that work.
The room is ready before people arrive
When the team walks in, everything is on, mics have batteries, slides are loaded, and worship music is playing. Setup is how we care for people. It shouldn’t feel like the first thing they have to wait through.
We connect before we play
Rehearsal starts with people, not sound: circle up, a question, prayer, then the set. Tech is part of the circle.
Line check every time
Even when the mixer is already in a good spot, we check every input at the start of rehearsal. It takes ten minutes and saves the whole night.
We respect people’s time
Wednesday ends by 7:30. Sunday rehearsal ends by 9:30. Being prepared is what makes those times possible.
Slides are done before Sunday
Sermon slides are finished by Friday. Sunday morning is for checking, not building.
Suggest, don’t steer
The worship director carries the vision for the music. Tech supports it. Offer ideas, then follow the worship director’s lead.
Mistakes are fine
A wrong slide or a late fade happens to everyone. Fix it calmly and keep going. Nobody in the room is keeping score.
