• Website — serve as primary owner of gotgrace.com: events, announcements, ministry pages, and rotating content, with an eye toward SEO and single-entry workflows across the website, Planning Center, and email.
• Social media & content — lead strategy across Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube; attend worship services and events to capture photos, video, and stories, including member testimonies that reflect our diverse community.
• Graphic design & print — design all church print and digital materials (bulletins, flyers, posters, banners, seasonal branding) and manage the Canva asset library.
• Podcast & video — edit and publish podcast episodes, coordinate with the A/V team on video and livestream promotion, and keep bulletin boards, Welcome Center screens, and the readerboard current.
• Volunteers — recruit, onboard, and coach a team of communications volunteers: photographers, writers, designers, and social contributors.
• Systems — administer Constant Contact, Canva, social accounts, and podcast platforms; train staff and ministry leaders on communications tools and submission processes.
• Occasional front-office backup — help cover phones and welcome members, visitors, and guests as needed.

• Strong graphic design ability (Canva required; Adobe Creative Suite a plus)
• Social media management experience across Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube

• Self-directed — comfortable owning systems and driving projects rather than waiting to be assigned
• Strong attention to detail across multiple simultaneous projects and deadlines

• Preferred: bilingual in English and Spanish
