Weekend Experience Graphic Designer

The Weekend Experience Graphic Designer helps shape how people visually experience Southeast’s weekend services. This role takes the creative direction for sermon series and individual weekends and translates it into clear, compelling visual systems that support the message, key moments, and overall journey of the service. Working closely with the Creative Director of Weekend Experience and the broader Weekend Experience team, this person creates graphics and visual assets for environments across Southeast campuses and online. This role also helps campuses strengthen their weekend experience by identifying visual opportunities, solving design challenges, and providing tools and support that help each campus execute with clarity and consistency. The goal is not simply to make things look good. It is to use design intentionally to help remove distractions, reinforce what is being communicated, and create moments that help people engage with Jesus. Why Southeast? Southeast Christian Church is a dynamic, growing church where staff are encouraged to lead boldly, care deeply, and live authentically. What You Will Be Doing Develop visual identities and graphic systems for sermon series, special weekends, and other Weekend Experience initiatives based on established creative direction. Design and prepare graphics for LED walls, environmental screens, lower thirds, teaching moments, support graphics, stage visuals, online experiences, and other assets used throughout weekend services. Partner with the Creative Director of Weekend Experience, Creative Producer, video, lighting, production, worship, preaching, and other weekend contributors to build a cohesive visual experience from the beginning of the service through the final moment. Support Southeast campuses in strengthening their weekend experience by identifying visual opportunities, helping solve environment and presentation challenges, and creating practical design solutions that work within each campus context. Participate in the Series Brief and Creative Brief process, contributing visual ideas that support the purpose, story, and key moments of each series and weekend. Build flexible visual systems, templates, and resources that help campuses execute the creative direction consistently while accounting for differences in room design, screen formats, production capabilities, and local needs. Prepare organized, production-ready files and templates, respond well to feedback, and make adjustments as designs move from concept into real weekend environments. What We Are Looking For A strong graphic designer with a portfolio demonstrating skill in typography, layout, composition, visual storytelling, and building cohesive visual systems. Proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud, particularly Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. Experience with After Effects or motion design is a plus. Experience designing for digital screens, large-format environments, live events, broadcast, or similar applications where designs need to work beyond a traditional computer or phone screen. A collaborative creative who can contribute ideas, receive direction and feedback without ego, and work alongside people from different creative and ministry disciplines. Someone who sees design as a way to serve people and solve problems, and who can listen to campus needs, understand the context of a room, and turn those needs into practical visual solutions. Someone who can balance strong creative ideas with real production constraints, timelines, budgets, screen specifications, and the practical needs of multiple campuses. A highly organized designer who can manage multiple projects, maintain clean working files, meet deadlines, and carry creative direction through the final details.
