Job description

We are excited to be working in partnership with The Rock Church, a vibrant and growing church community in Harpenden, Hertfordshire. Meeting at the Eric Morecambe Centre on beautiful Rothamsted Park, they will be celebrating their 5th anniversary in April 2026 with over 300 active members and thriving youth and young adult ministries.

At The Rock Church, everything begins and ends with Jesus. Their heartbeat is simple: to lead people to Jesus and support them on their journey of discipleship. With a mission to inspire and equip people to apply the life-giving words of Jesus to their everyday circumstances, they're building a church family marked by authenticity, compassion, and commitment to growing in faith.

As they enter an exciting new season of growth and expansion, The Rock Church is seeking a visionary, hands‑on Creative Media and Communications Manager to lead and develop their digital presence and creative output. This is a key role for the future of the church, using creativity and media to build God's Kingdom and tell the story of what God is doing in and through TRC, both on the ground and online.

You will oversee and creatively shape all media and communication platforms across the church, playing a significant leadership role, especially on Sundays, alongside a volunteer team. From digital strategy and social media to video production, live broadcasting, design, photography, and website management, you will be at the heart of how the church communicates its mission, vision, and values with excellence, authenticity, and impact.

The successful candidate must be able to demonstrate:

• A committed Christian with a heart and passion to build the local church
• Proven creative vision with hands‑on media/tech skills
• Experience in digital communications, creative media, or church media agency work
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, etc.)
• Knowledge of website platforms (e.g., Squarespace, WordPress, Wix)

If you're passionate about using creativity and media to build God's Kingdom and are excited to be part of a pioneering season in a church dedicated to reaching people with the hope of Jesus, then we'd love to hear from you.

This role is subject to a Basic DBS check, which will be carried out by the employer.

Your application should include your CV and supporting statement.

The Rock Church is committed to being a welcoming and respectful Christian workplace and encourages applications from a wide range of backgrounds. Their beliefs and practices are grounded in their biblical understanding of faith, and the successful candidate will be expected to uphold and fully support the Evangelical Alliance Basis of Faith and our Values. The Rock Church and Charisma seek to ensure fairness and equality in our recruitment processes in accordance with the law.
