    The Role of the Praise and Worship Team Members This week we have the first of two perspectives on the Role of the Worship Team. I thought we should start by explaining… who is… or should be considered part of the ‘worship team’. This may seem rather obvious‚ but the people on the praise and worship team are those directly involved with the praise and worship.
