Videographer/Editor

Videographer/Editor

Our church... is a non-denominational multi-site church with four St. Louis-area campuses where we gather each weekend to study this ancient story found in Scripture that is still transforming lives today. We believe church should be a place where believers in Jesus and skeptics can stand side-by-side to study truth and ask tough questions. We blend teaching and worship with art and technology to create a service where you can experience the message of Jesus in practical and life-changing ways.

This hands-on role works closely with the Senior Filmmaker to plan, set up, capture, edit, organize, and deliver video content for weekend services, ministries, events, and other church-wide experiences. The Videographer/Editor serves as a second shooter and production partner on larger projects while also taking ownership of assigned video projects from concept through final delivery.

The right person is a dependable, organized, and growing filmmaker who enjoys both the creative and practical sides of video production. They are comfortable jumping in where needed—whether preparing for a shoot, capturing footage, editing a project, organizing media, keeping the studio ready, or responding to a short-timeline weekend request. They receive direction well, communicate clearly, and help the video team work with greater consistency, flexibility, and excellence.

• Create and edit short-timeline "booster" videos and other quick-turn content needed for weekend services, ministry updates, events, announcements, and digital platforms.
• Help maintain a clean, organized, and production-ready video studio, including cameras, lenses, lighting, audio equipment, accessories, props, and other production resources.
• Assist with footage organization, file management, project archives, media backups, asset preparation, documentation, and established workflow standards so the team can locate, share, protect, and build on its work with confidence.
• Collaborate closely with the Senior Filmmaker, Art Director, Project Manager, Creative Team, and ministry leaders; communicate progress, meet deadlines, receive feedback well, and perform other duties as assigned to support the needs of the video team.
