Its like this bruh.
At this point you gotta be humble. Listen to the guidance of the holy spirit on any and all decisions you are going to make.
Then you need to get with the Pastor and determine what he sees as a vision for the music ministry in the church. What I mean here is does he want to develop a series of choirs/praise teams. Does he see community outreach ( by the music department ) as vital. Does he envision traveling engagements. What are the priorities for getting to whatever goals he sets.
Then you need to make an assesment of the current musical situation, and determine what you need to add, delete, develop, train and or hire to get to the goals he has set forth. Then you pray, practice, pray again, and then pray again for God to guide you, your attitude, your outlook, and the people he has placed around and move forward with the vision he has set forth with the Pastor.
There are a bunch of logistics around song selection, musician selection, soloists selection, choir selection, etc etc. But you need to determine where you are before we can get to all of that. If you are also still learning your instrument ( we all are to some degree or another), then you need to set some guidelines for yourself as well.
And then just get busy working within the ministry. Balance that responsibility with your family, and if you are not full time, with your main source of income as well.
Best wishes.
