One of the most distressing issues that face worship directors is people who want to volunteer for the choir, or worship team, but can't sing or play an instrument.
So, what to do with these people? Especially in smaller churches, finding people for the choir or to sing backup can be difficult. It's a bit more clear cut with instruments, either you can, or you can't, and so turning people away is a bit easier. But when you need a choir and there's only about 200 people in the church and you have 40 who want to join the choir and only 10 of them can sing in pitch, what can someone do?
Or another example, if someone wants to become a worship leader but can't sing in pitch and has an annoying voice that would become more of a distraction from worship, what happens then? If they claim to be appointed by God to lead in worship but whenever they open their mouths the congregation has to cover their ears?
the lines are open, folks, post your opinions and thoughts on this in the comment section!

If God really did want them to do it, God would have the means of them doing it successfully and _without problems_ . I highly doubt God wants to trouble the established worship team with one person who does not have the talent for it who alleges it was from God.
In everything, including a church, there are rules to follow. Rules are there for reasons. If people do not respect the rules, what use is there for a system? Also I strongly oppose people who want to join the worship team for their personal gains be it reputation or self-shiok-factor.
Another thing to add.
This is not your grandfather's church.
thanks for the comment. I think I agree with you on that, and also people who don't sing properly tend to be more of a distraction and impediment to corporate worship rather than a boon.
