More specifically, here is what the role means for the Student Ministry programs:
Weekend worship services include modern worship music for the 5 services in the Worship Center and we have 1 traditional service on Sunday mornings that is run by another group of staff and volunteers separate from the Worship Ministry. All of the worship teams other than Hope Worship staff are volunteers, which gives people a chance to use their gifts to serve the church as well as build a community within the ministry.
We have regular gatherings for our worship volunteers to celebrate what is happening in Hope Worship and to dig a little deeper both musically and spiritually. The work atmosphere is relaxed and fun, but we do work hard at making worship the best it can be for our volunteers and the worshiping congregation.

We are a multi-site congregation, with campuses in West Des Moines, Ankeny (northern suburb), Waukee (western), Johnston-Grimes (north western), downtown Des Moines, and our nesets addition in Ames Iowa, home of Iowa State University.
