AV (Audio/Visual) Team

At Crossroads, we believe worship is a creative collaboration — where scripture, serving, music, and imagery all come together to help people encounter God. The AV Team partners with the Leadership, Music, and First Impression Teams to bring worship to life through sound, lighting, camera operation, media presentation, and more. Every role on the team plays a vital part in supporting meaningful and authentic worship!

Audio

• Front of House Audio – Using a sophisticated sound system, you’ll balance and mix music, speaking, and other audio in the sanctuary. This role helps create the beautiful, immersive sound that fills the room and supports worship for everyone present. If you enjoy system-based thinking and hands-on tech, this may be a perfect spot for you!
• Streaming Audio – Our congregation extends beyond the walls of the sanctuary. This role provides a separate mix for those joining online, ensuring they hear music, speaking, and all the details clearly. Working alongside Front of House Audio, this position is vital to connecting with the extended community.

Visual

• Media Tech – The heartbeat of communication in the room and online, Media Tech operates slides for the Music Team and sermon presentations, as well as controlling lighting and showing videos.  This role is a key component in encouraging full engagement with the message and music.
• Camera Operation – Ensures everyone, near or far, can see all that happens in the sanctuary. Camera operators follow the action on and off the platform, making the worship experience accessible to the online community.

We’d love to have you! Whether you’re experienced or simply excited to learn, there’s a place for you on the AV Team.

Praise Team

At Crossroads, worship is a collaborative effort involving many instruments, voices, and diverse levels of experience. We always welcome new vocalists and musicians, along with the passion and authenticity they bring. Working alongside the Leadership, First Impression, and AV Teams, the Music Team provides the foundation for congregational, offertory, and communion music. We are one team of musicians and vocalists, and we would love for you to be a part of the rotation!

Band
From trombone to electric guitar, the band combines a diverse variety of instruments to create a musical foundation that supports a space of authentic worship. Collaboration and cohesion are at the heart of what we do — each instrument listening and working together in fellowship to serve the congregation. If you’re interested in sharing your musical gifts, we’d love to hear from you! We use sheet music as well as chord or cut sheets to navigate songs.

Vocalists
We have many talented voices in the rotation and would love to add yours. To accommodate all voice types, we aim for a healthy mix of ranges each Sunday. And we primarily use sheet music to navigate music alongside other vocalists. Having a strong voice and a good sense of rhythm to carry a melodic line will be a great asset here. But the most important and invaluable asset in both of these roles will be a heart of worship.
