Who We’re Looking For:

  • Follower of Jesus with strong character, in alignment with “What We Believe” 
  • Passionate leader who embraces a culture where we take high ownership of behaviors and actions ("that's on me"), lean into honest conversations with God and others (say the last 10%), and relentlessly empower others (our answer to "what" is always "who")
  • Committed to our vision and engages in all public habits (gathering on a weekend, connecting in a J-Group, serving on the J-Team) and personal habits (investing and inviting, practicing a slot and spot, giving your first)
  • Thrives in fast-paced, outward-focused, mission- and gift-centered environment where we’re committed to helping people find Jesus and follow him fully

  • Technical expertise: Strong background in live streaming technology, broadcast audio, and digital AVL systems. This includes setup, operation, and troubleshooting of complex systems
  • Educational Background: Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Media Production, or related field
  • Experience: Minimum of 5 years of relevant work experience in a church setting or similar environment, with specific experience in live streaming and broadcast audio
  • Leadership and Communication: Strong leadership skills with the ability to train, manage, and inspire a team. Excellent communication skills to explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical team members and volunteers.

General Responsibilities:
  • Live Streaming & Broadcast Audio: Oversee the church’s live streaming operations, ensuring high-quality audio and video broadcast. Manage the setup and operation of streaming software and hardware, including Resi for reliable video streaming and broadcast audio mixing consoles for clear, balanced sound.
  • Video & Audio System Management: Expert management of video and audio systems, including operating and troubleshooting software like ProPresenter for presentations and Resolume for video mixing and effects. Ensure all systems are optimized for live worship services and events.
  • Technical Project Leadership: Lead technical projects, aligning them with the church’s goals. This includes upgrading live streaming capabilities, implementing new audio-visual technologies, and enhancing online worship experiences.
  • IT and AVL Operations: Maintain day-to-day IT operations, AVL equipment, and support church departments with their technical needs. This involves hands-on work and strategic planning to keep all systems running smoothly.
  • Training & Team Management: Provide training on the latest technologies and software, including live streaming tools, to both staff and volunteers
