Direct Reports: Membership Engagement / Discipleship Coordinator; Decision Counseling Team

Purpose of the Position

The Membership Engagement Director provides strategic leadership for the systems, teams, and relationships that help individuals connect with God, one another, and their God-given purpose. This role owns the vision and oversight of the church's assimilation pathway, guiding new and unchurched individuals into full, growing membership and discipleship. It is a position of influence and leadership that calls for innovative thinking, team building, and a genuine passion for connecting people both online and in person. Exceptional relational, organizational, and communication skills are essential, along with a strong work and ministry ethic marked by a commitment to quality.

The Director oversees the environments where many first-time guests and new members have their earliest experiences of EBC, maximizing both online and in-person touchpoints to reach and minister to the greatest number of people.
