The ideal candidate would be a writer with at least two years of experience in the field, who can provide professionally published (print or online) writing samples. We love personal pet projects as much as anyone, but if your blog about your dog is the only writing/publishing experience you have, this isn’t the position for you!
Basically, we’re looking for an outstanding, experienced utility player who can write for our general church audience (without sounding too churchy) as well as parents, students, kids, and more!

• Adapting and editing previously created content.
• Driving the creation of original concepts that result in effective and compelling communication.
• Utilizing different language styles and tones that represent various ministry voices and appeal to various target markets.
• Developing and maintaining a clear and consistent brand voice.
• Proofreading written and digital products for spelling, grammar, punctuation, syntax, usage, consistency, and brand voice.
• Verify the accuracy of all referenced facts (e.g., times, dates, statistics) and double-check cross-referenced materials.
• Review content with an eye towards campaign, ministry, and brand consistency.

Qualifications:

• Proficiency in word-processing and editing software (e.g., Microsoft Office, Google Drive)
• Knowledge of various style manuals (e.g., AP Stylebook, Chicago Manual of Style)
• A degree or equivalent certification in English, journalism, communications, or a related field.
• Organized, able to work on tight deadlines, able to be flexible with change, feedback, and constructive criticism.
• Excellent writing, editing, and proofreading skills with a diligent eye for detail, language, flow, and grammar.
• A diverse portfolio featuring a variety of media and formats (e.g., social media captions, television/radio scripts, search engine optimized (SEO) web content, blog posts, bylines, and direct marketing email.)
• Strong knowledge and preference for the StoryBrand messaging framework.
