The Director of Church Generosity is primarily responsible for building and strengthening relationships with churches at scale, helping them understand how they can support the YouVersion mission of reaching the world with God’s Word. This role understands the focuses, rhythms, and needs of churches, and provides vision and resources to equip churches to champion YouVersion within their communities. The Director of Church Generosity will collaborate with their team leader to cast vision, provide direction, and lead ministry efforts that help reach people for Christ.
YouVersion was created by the local church in 2007 and remains a ministry of Life.Church today. At Life.Church, our mission is to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ. Our team is committed to reaching people worldwide through innovative technology. And YouVersion is one of the ways we get to do that. Life.Church is a multi-site Christian church meeting in the United States and globally at Life.Church Online.
We wholeheartedly believe a daily rhythm of seeking intimacy with God has the power to transform lives. That’s why YouVersion creates biblically based experiences that encourage and challenge people to seek God. We hope everyone in our community is on an active journey to become who God made them to be, abiding in Him and drawing closer every day.
