CONTENT CREATOR

Location: The Word Church, Warrensville Campus

Reports to: Digital Director

Status: Full-time

OUR MISSION

At The Word Church, our mission is simple: we are a Jesus-centered ministry committed to strengthening our members, winning the lost, and helping those in need. Every campus exists to extend the reach of this mission spiritually, relationally, and practically.

ROLE OVERVIEW

The Content Creator supports The Word Church's digital presence by producing compelling, mission-aligned content for social media platforms and digital channels.
