Front of House is one of the most important positions on our team for the simple fact that without a skilled hand running the board most people are not going to hear what is important. The Front of House tech balances all of our sources from the stage and booth into a cohesive mix that is clear, compelling, and beautiful.
We understand that you are a volunteer who likely has a day job, a family, friends, and other interests—you may even be serving elsewhere in the church! That’s why our goal is to train you up to serve confidently on Rock Point Worship (and wherever the Lord sends you if you move away from here) over the next 12 months. Typically, all of our volunteers serve 1-2 times per month, so we’ve developed a training plan (which is still being developed as we go) that’s based on learning bit by bit over time. Hopefully it stays exciting for you and not a burden!

Below are resources that can help you grow as a mixer! We have limited access to some paid resources like MxU and Churchfront available if you want to really level up. 🙂
MxU is a leading church technology training source with their own web platform, helpful YouTube channel, and annual conferences around the nation. Their roster includes techs who have worked with Chris Tomlin, Hillsong, Elevation Worship, and more.

Churchfront is another leading church worship and technology training collective that focuses on training up “Gospel-centered and tech savvy worship leaders.” Our worship team staff has gotten to meet Jake Gosselin and some of the other Churchfront leaders and we love what they’re doing! They focus on small- to mid-size churches and have great resources for much of the tech we use at RP.
