Copywriter

ABOUT OUR COMPANY

A UNIQUE PLACE

Work is a gift from the loving Father to his beloved sons and daughters. And yet, receiving this gift and offering it back to our Creator can be difficult due to the brokenness and frailty of our fallen nature. We seek to answer the Lord's invitation to lean into this tension as we build an apostolate entirely devoted to honoring God both with what we do and how we do it. It's not perfect because we are not perfect. And still, we persist because "he who made the promise is trustworthy" (Hebrews 10:23).

FOR A UNIQUE PURPOSE

Amidst the obvious challenges, God is doing something amazing in our world... and we are grateful to be a part of it. Just as David reached for five smooth stones when God called him to slay the giant Goliath, when God raises up leaders in the Church, they reach for 5 Stones to help them answer his call. When it’s time to clarify a brand message, solve logistics nightmares, untangle tech troubles, or break through media malaise, we’re here to help Catholic apostolates get unstuck and unleashed. Join our passionate, close-knit team in Sycamore, IL, who joyfully accompany mission-driven organizations with the professional services they need to succeed.

THE ROLE WE NEED

Do you love to write? Do you love thinking about what combination of words will motivate someone, move them to action, or make them feel something? Do you ever think about human behavior... what people want, what holds them back, their aspirations, the problems they face?
