Technically, I have two churches. The one at my college uses a pipe organ, and that's about it. I played my Euphonium for one of the services last year, and there's another guy who every few weeks will play piano or guitar during communiun.

My church in my hometown uses everything. We have an amazing 3500 pipe organ, and have an orchestra that plays on certain Sunday's over the year. We've had everything from bagpipes to recorders to everything.

The highschool group bands range anywhere from an electric guitar, keys, bass, and drums, to two electrics, an acoustic, keys, bass, and drums. "Big church" as we like to call it usually has one acoustic guitar, two electrics, a piano, a keyboard, a bass, a drumset, and a big percussion set, too. It's pretty darn awesome.

We have a piano. That's it. Sometimes someone will play a guitar, but that doesn't happen too often... My pastor is rather, um, shall we say, set in his ways?

I mean like it would be hard cause its such a big responsibility making sure all those interments are doing there parts right and not over powering each othere.

Mandy Straussberg · Post by **Mandy Straussberg** » Sat Nov 05, 2005 1:32 am

Haha. Well, actually, the overpowering each other part isn't the worship leader's job: it's the sound guy's. When it comes to making sure everybody's doing our job, the people in charge of worship at our church are very, very cautious when choosing members for the bands. They make sure they're at the very least decent at their instrument and are annointed for worship.

In reality, it's really not that hard, actually. I led one of the highschool bands a few weeks ago (the biggest one). Everybody does their job. Everybody knows their instrument. Everybody follows the leader--the physical leader as well as God. It works. It may sound hard, but it's more of a joy than a difficulty.

We use a grand piano, a keyboard, another keyboard that we use as an organ, a complete drum set, a bass guitar, an electric guitar, an acoustic guitar, and all of the beautiful voices in our church that lift praise to the Lord, God Almighty.

And that's the real hard part; I've been on both ends of that fun job, and would much rather be reading or directing music.
