At Elevation Church, we look 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

• Ensure all lighting systems and consoles are operating at peak efficiency and are adequately prepared for weekend experiences and other events at the broadcast facility.
• Perform and/or facilitate maintenance on lighting systems and gear.
• Seek out and suggest new methods, gear, and systems as they relate to lighting.
• Work with the Broadcast technical staff to maintain a clean, safe, and professional production environment.
• Design, concept, draw, and oversee the implementation of new stage lighting configurations for events and weekend worship experiences.
• Be part of a team that operates lighting for Sunday church, weekday events, and other initiatives.
• Assist the Broadcast Team with Broadcast initiatives as determined by the Production Manager and Elevation Church Leadership Team.
• Contribute and operate in a way that supports and reinforces Elevation Church’s financial and budgetary values and expectations.
• Work closely with other members of the Live Production Department to identify and explore opportunities for greater impact.

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.
