Thank you for taking the time to review my bio and cover letter for a position as Worship Leader!

For the last 12 years, I have been involved in the music and media ministry at Hope Community Church in Shawano, WI, starting out by learning how to mix audio and run the sound system on Sunday mornings. Soon after, I began playing drums and percussion for the youth worship team and Sunday worship team. During the last 4 years, I have been on staff at Hope as an audio technician.

During that time, I have continued to play drums for the Sunday worship team, served as worship leader on several occasions - both at Hope and a sister church, provided drum and percussion lessons for middle and high school students, and assisted in the design and installation of new sound and lighting systems in the recent Hope building expansion and remodel.

In December of 2017, I graduated with an Associate Degree in Design and Graphic Technology, with a technical diploma as a printing technician. I served my internship at Hope as well, designing producing, and installing new signage for the building expansion. I have operated a freelance design and photography business for the last 6 years.

I have worked part-time as a sales rep and support specialist for a regional cellular provider for the last 3 years. Over the last year, I have felt that God has been calling me into worship. This has been reinforced by the input and feedback of many people around me, through my personal worship time, and the opening and closing of other opportunities.

I look forward to seeing where God will take me. Thank you for your consideration.

All the best,

Sam Oss
