Kalos PRODUCTION Team
Engage with the Beauty of Jesus
Nothing unifies us like music. Saying the same thing - lyric - at the same time - rhythm - in the same way - melody - is powerful.
Kalos Church Production Team is a group of friends who love Jesus, love making music, love being in community together and want to get better at it all! We’d love to have you join us!
A Week in the Life of Production Team
NOTE: We strive to schedule each member 2x per month
Monday
On Slack, we post final details of the Sunday set, and anything specific to note.
Tuesday - Thursday
On average, our team members will practice between 1-2 hrs in preparation for Thursday rehearsal.
Thursday at the stüds from 7-9p at 11859 se 160th st renton, wa 98058
A few notes about rehearsal:
- We typically stick with playing songs exactly as they are on the provided mp3s - but creative originality is welcome.
- On planning center you will see a designated “Worship Leader” who will run the rehearsal.
-We believe everyone on our team has the capacity to bring valuable musical insight and contribution, so we expect empathetic criticism from everyone.
