Content Creator (NextGen Creative)

At Elevation Church, we want to link arms in ministry with those who are passionate about stepping into their God-given calling. While we’re a staff from all different backgrounds and walks of life, our mission is the same - to reach people with the Gospel. We’re grounded in scripture and guided by our values, so check out our website (www.elevationchurch.org) to be sure you’re aligned before you step into the application process with us, particularly paying attention to our Beliefs and our Code.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design both print and digital content for eKidz and YTH – think everything from IG carousels to print pieces that go home in backpacks to merch that youth can’t wait to get their hands on.
• Collaborate with creatives and ministry leaders to bring big ideas to life for kids, youth, and families.
• Bring ideas and creative input during brainstorms and planning meetings.
• Pitch ideas and speak into creative direction (you’re not just taking orders, you’re contributing to where we’re going).
• Balance multiple projects while still delivering fire visuals.
• Stay on top of trends in youth culture, design, and digital content.
• Connect with the audience you create for by serving in our eKidz and YTH ministries.

MUST-HAVES

• Active participation in a church (we look for a lifestyle of inviting people to church, volunteering, generosity, and prioritizing community)
• Care deeply about helping the next generation meet Jesus.
• Know your way around Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Figma).
• Have strong layout and typography instincts, and you know how to make things pop.
• Understand what works on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, etc.
• Ability to dream big, take initiative, and can meet deadlines. 
• Online portfolio with a mix of fun, bold, and engaging content.

NICE-TO-HAVES

• Designed for youth/kids or in a church/nonprofit space.
• Ministry training or education
• Familiar with Elevation YTH & eKidz. 
• Dabbled in video editing or motion graphics.
• Think like a storyteller and know how to hook an audience in 3 seconds or less.
• Could probably explain what it means to “slay,” be “mid,” or “hit different” — and more importantly, you design things that actually do.

DAY-TO-DAY

• We’re a Sunday-Thursday work environment.  Monday-Thursday, we’re in the office (8:30AM - 5PM); on Sunday, we’re supporting the weekend worship experience either directly in our roles or by choosing a weekly serving opportunity at one of our Elevation Church campuses.
• There’s a lot to accomplish each week, so we’re pretty fast-paced.  We’re also not afraid to pivot a strategy or project quickly to meet the needs of the weekend - adaptability is a key competence for us.
• Yes, we work hard.  But we’re good at playing hard, too.  We’re a creative staff, so there’s no shortage of activities around our offices to have some fun!
• You can’t help but grow on our staff.  You’ll be around some incredible people.  Professional development opportunities will be all around you, both in structured and unstructured ways.
• We expect you to be disciplined in your spiritual practices - be in your Bible, spend time with the Lord in prayer, meditate on and apply the weekly sermon.  
• Bring your full self to every project, conversation, and initiative at hand.
