Worship band · Akron & Medina
Musicians Wanted
Drums · Guitar · Keys
We're looking for gifted, serious players who love to make great music and want it to count for something bigger. Pro gear, a team with no egos, and a schedule that puts your family first.
Hear us
This is what Sunday sounds like.
Give it a listen. If you can hear yourself in this band, we'd love to meet you.
Washed
Jesus Be the Name
Touch of Heaven
Recorded live at Medina campus rehearsals.
Who we're looking for
Great players who serve the song, not the spotlight.
Serious about your craft
You're gifted, you put in the work, and you show up prepared.
Here to have fun
We take the music seriously, not ourselves. Rehearsals should be one of the best parts of your week.
Playing for a bigger purpose
Every song is meant to help a room full of people worship God together.
No egos
Humble, teachable, team-first. The best player in the room makes everyone else sound better.
What it looks like
Built around your life, not the other way around.
It's a rotating team. Expect about twice a month, flexed around your schedule and your family's. We plan four weeks ahead so you're never caught off guard.
The week you're scheduled, rehearsal is Wednesday at 7pm in Medina or Thursday at 7pm in Akron. Then you play Sunday morning.
A Nord keyboard, a Vox amp, and a full drum kit with hardware, snare and cymbals are all on stage and ready to go.
Make the band, get your in-ears on us.
Every new member who passes their audition gets a starter set of in-ear monitors as a welcome gift.

Who you'll hear from
Hey, I'm Ricky.
I started as the Worship Director at One Church in 2021. Outside of contemporary worship music, I love blues, jazz, rock and everything in between, and I've played in all kinds of bands over the years, but my favorite is still making music to worship Jesus. When I'm not playing, I'm usually hanging out with my wife Gaby and our Australian shepherd Fin. When you reach out, you'll hear back from me personally.

Questions
Do I need to attend One Church?
No. You don't need to be attending right now to reach out. Come see a rehearsal and get to know us.
How much of a commitment is it?
About twice a month, depending on your schedule and your family's. Each week you play includes a 7pm rehearsal (Wednesdays at our Medina campus, Thursdays at our Akron campus) and Sunday morning. Schedules go out four weeks in advance.
Do I need to bring gear?
We provide a Nord keyboard, a Vox amp, and a full drum kit with hardware, snare and cymbals.
What does One Church believe?
We'd love for you to know where we stand. Read what we believe.
I play something else. Can I still reach out?
Absolutely. Check "Something else" on the form, or email rhoover@onechurchny.com.
