David's Tent 757 Worship Leader Information and Agreement Friday October 28 4pm Sunday October 30 4pm 4524 Wishart Road Virginia Beach, VA 23455 24/7 Worship in the 757 Thank you for your interest in adding your voice to our perpetual love song to Jesus at David’s Tent 757. We are excited to see the beautiful diversity of the Church come together on a common stage to exalt Jesus! This letter lays out the logistics and, more importantly, the heart of leading worship at David’s Tent 757. We require that every worship leader and team member read and agree to these points. Loving Jesus is our only agenda David’s Tent 757 has the very specific focus of loving on Jesus. We welcome all styles and genres of worship. We are simply seeking to give Jesus the love and honor that He is due from this city and nation. Everything that comes from the stage should be worship, thanksgiving, adoration, and prayer. We ask that there be no preaching or political opinions from the stage only worship and prayer. We are not promoting any social or political viewpoint. We are happy to be here! This is a celebration of the goodness and beauty of Jesus, who has opened up the way of salvation for all mankind. That’s good news! We want to offer up so much love to Jesus that He just can’t resist bringing His presence to our city and nation in a greater way than ever before. There are more than enough beautiful things about Jesus and what He has done to fill countless worship sets. Protect our values When we give you the stage at David’s Tent 757, we are in some measure putting our reputation in your hands. Please read the statements below of our core values. We need to be able to trust you to embody and protect these values that define who we are. These values should guide all of your actions at David’s Tent, both on and off the stage. We are all volunteers No one is making money from David’s Tent 757. We do not offer pay to worship leaders or anyone else working David’s Tent. Further, we do not allow the selling of any merchandise at or near the Tent. This helps protect our core identity as a freelyoffered love song to Jesus rather than a worship concert venue. Logistics Time slots: We schedule in 2hour blocks. Worship is amplified with a full sound system and sound technician. We have a house drumset, keyboard, 4 microphones. Guitarists can plug into the house system or bring your own amp. Parking: During bank hours (Friday 4pm6pm and Saturday 9am1pm) the bank requests that we not park along the sidewalk in front of the building. All parking spaces are available outside these areas. There is extra parking behind the building.
Loadin: Any equipment you bring will have to be carried by hand and up stairs or elevator from the parking lot. (For your convenience, please use as much of the house equipment and instruments as you would like. Arrival: Please arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled time. Teams may need this entire time buffer to negotiate traffic, parking, and lastminute issues. If all goes smoothly and you have extra time, you can join the ongoing worship and center your heart on Jesus before your set. Please check in with our staff when you arrive. Setup: We strive for a seamless handoff between worship sets. Please have everything tuned and prepared as much as possible offstage, then begin setting up on the stage during the last ten minutes of the set before you. Your sound check will be done live as your set starts. And please be gracious to the group after you, who will be setting up during your last ten minutes. Equipment: To ease transitions between sets, we do not allow teams to bring their own keyboards or drum sets. Beyond this, you are welcome to bring whatever you need, including your own snare drum, if you wish. We encourage you to use as much of our equipment as possible for smoother transitions between sets. Here is a list of equipment that will be at the Tent, ready for your use: 1 Keyboard Full standard acoustic drum kit 4 vocal mics, DI boxes, cables, music stands, monitor wedges Full sound system with a David’s Tent 757 staff member running the board Prepare your heart: Finally, don’t forget that a heart that is connected to Jesus and clean of known sin is the most important piece of equipment in your gig bag. Before you come, please spend time individually and as a team centering your hearts on Jesus and asking the Holy Spirit to take you to deeper levels of intimacy with Jesus.
