Great question! Two things. First, it's important to let people exercise their own creative gifts, but at the end of the day you need to be the leader with the clear vision. For example, it's good for people to have chord charts but to also feel free to not play it EXACTLY as the guy on the recording does. At the same time, if someone's doing something that's WAY off the sound in YOUR head, you need to be confident enough to pull them back.
Second, be secure in your vision for the worship team. Are you there as an outreach, to entertain, to help just by playing along so people can sing songs they like, to engage in deep worship, etc.??? Who you allow to be a part of your team will directly flow from that. If your team is an outreach, then your standard for "worship team membership" should be pretty low. If you're there to directly lead people into the "presence of God," then you probably don't want anybody on your team who doesn't really understand worship and actively live out a solid Christian life.
There are a lot of good resources, but I would recommend two in particular: Worship Matters - Bob Kauflin, and, if you want to invest a little more time and money, WorshipU.
There are a ton of good people on this sub who can offer helpful advice, so keep asking questions as they come up. You'll do great!
I have a couple fantastic resources for you - first off, How to Worship a King, by Zach Neese. He's one of the worship pastors at Gateway Church in Dallas/Fort Worth. Probably one of the best books on worship and worship leading. Secondly, there's a podcast called Worshipleaderprobs. The podcasts are relatively short (30mins) and full of encouraging advice, resources, and humor. They also have guests on the podcast that throw down some incredible truths about leading.
As u/thejoelhansen stated, your musical skill may have given you the opportunity, but character and heart will sustain you. Psalm 78:72 says David led with skill of hand and integrity of heart. Loads of "worship leaders" nail the first but miss the second. The fact you asked for resources shows evidence of an earnest heart. Don't let that go.
Blessings to you as you start this journey! My own worship leading began in college. Now it's my full-time job.
Hey there! So to echo what some have said already we are worshipers created to worship God. Our job as worship leaders is to help, enable and set an atmosphere where people can freely and comfortably come and worship. As a worship leader I have had people complain about song choices and lack of older songs/hymns etc. Jesus is our worship leader and under him is our lead pastor and then we come in the picture. I try to make sure my worship first is done in spirit and truth and is biblically how it was designed for the body. Second, that it aligns with the lead pastors vision for the church. Not everyone will be 100% happy with how we lead and that's okay! My best advice is to be completely respectful and humble when people complain and give advice and don't get defensive but be receptive and ask them more questions on why they think that way and then thank them for their thoughts. After you can pray about it, meet with the pastor to talk about it and take time to genuinely assess what they said and if there is something practical you can do or if you just keep doing what you are doing a pray for them. If you haven't read the book "Worship Matters" by Bob Kaughlin I would encourage you to. Great resource for all worship leaders/pastors.
Praying for you man and that God will reveal himself more and more to you as you lead people into his presence
I'll echo several comments on this thread. Take some time to learn theory yourself. Learn to read music. If all you knew how to do was speak English but never read English you would be missing out on so much beauty. I'm not saying become a proficient sight reader but at least learn about the written language of music.
Some ways to do that are to audit a music theory class at a local college, go through the lessons at musictheory.net, or pick up an easy adult piano course book like the one below which is how I got my start learning to read music before heading to college. The piano is the best instrument to learn how theory fits together on and learning theory on the piano has made me a phenomenally better guitarist.

A great place to start with these musicians is to begin using lead sheets. I've done this with several churches I've consulted with. (I'm work with a few church consulting firms helping churches transition music styles if they need to go more contemporary or blended to be more relevant to their community.) Taking an older church lady who is used to reading the block chords in hymns and using lead sheets to transition them to chord charts has worked 100% of the time. Lead sheets help them follow the count, which is what they're used too, but only gives them the melody to read. Songselect.com and praisecharts.com has all the lead sheets you'll ever need.
As a worship leader it's your responsibility not to grow complacent and learn, learn, learn as much as you can about music. Disciple these junior-high students into great church musicians. Meet them in the middle and share a common ground with them. You learn some theory and they learn some improv. Win-Win. Also, be patient.
I love new songs! I have started a Spotify playlist of the music we play in church so people can subscribe if they know how. When I introduce a new song I typically lead with the chorus, and usually at the beginning or end of service, whichever causes the least amount of disruption (this is flexible). I try to go with the more popular songs but I enjoy finding obscure songs as well. Finally, new songs usually get played 2 or 3 weeks in a row, one week off and then play it again.
If I remember correctly, I got a lot of great information from "The Worship Leader's Handbook" which covers way more than just new songs.

Reaching Out Without Dumbing Down by Marva Dawn
Edit to add: actually, the very best book I've read about worship, recently, is "Worshiping with the Anaheim Vineyard: The Emergence of Contemporary Worship (The Church at Worship: Case Studies from Christian History)." This book is amazing, because it details what contemporary Christian worship music was like near the beginning of its creation, and how a church grew from zero to 3000 in five years. ...
... without...
...
... (are you sitting down?)

... words.
That is, they crafted a worship style that was not dependent upon lyric sheets, songbooks, nor overhead projection. They crafted simple songs because they were limited in doing so. But the songs sparked a revival that catapulted this small church into the worship big leagues for a number of years.
We had a pretty good response by first easing the congregation into a more contemporary feel by doing traditional hymns set to contemporary arrangements. The More Hymns for Praise and Worship is a great collection of hymns set in that style and I believe they actually still have bound books you could purchase for the congregation (depending on budget). Then when they’re used to hearing a more contemporary sound, you could start slipping actual contemporary songs into a set here or there. It’ll take time, but hopefully the pay off will be worth it!

(Might actually be cheaper at wordmusic.com)
In addition to some other great recommendations already put out there, I'd wholeheartedly recommend Zac Hicks' [The Worship Pastor] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CXDN2TC/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1). Despite the title, it definitely doesn't apply only to people with "pastor" in their job description - in fact, Hicks argues heavily that worship leadership is an eminently pastoral role and that all worship leaders need to consider themselves pastors and take their pastoral call seriously. It's also a very practical book (that speaks a lot to the "in the trenches" work of leading gathered, congregational worship every week) and is, very importantly, Christ-centered and focused on the story of the Gospel, using its narrative structure to shape the flow of worship.
I've also been given a few recommendations by my pastor that I'll pass on to you, though I'll mention straight away that I haven't read these ones yet so I can't give you any thoughts:
You can go with the monoprice 8320 if you need something cheap but decent. If you are wanting GOOD pro level equipment you pretty much jump to the $100 level and something like the Shure 215. You can also go custom IEM but that will start around $500 for something you will probably use the rest of your life.
Perspectives on Christian Worship: Five Views.
If you want to understand the differences in worship ‘styles’ and practices from church to church, and between denominations this is an excellent book.
Each contributor puts forward a defence of their view which is then cross-examined by each of the others. The best way to understand a subject is by reading people debate it!
As /u/rmilkman13 said, Worship Matters by Bob Kauflin is great.
I'd also heartily recommend "Worship in Spirit and In Truth" by John Frame.
Following the River by Bob Sorge is really great. Very short and simply points to the biblical vision of corporate worship

Bob Kauflin is the man! If you're looking for a more "general" study of worship that extends beyond music, leading, etc his other book, "True Worshipers" is a great read.
I don't know if there is a good, affordable option to throw a light that far. You could try maybe some inexpensive dj led lights and up light it from close. Something like these https://www.amazon.com/LUNSY-Lights-Changeable-Lighting-Control/dp/B076PTVP6L/ref=mp_s_a_1_20?ie=UTF8&qid=1524966588&sr=8-20&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=dj+light&dpPl=1&dpID=51R3VaGzSDL&ref=plSrch
