First Baptist Church of Umatilla is looking for a Communications Director to help tell the story of what God is doing in the church and keep people informed, connected, and engaged. This person will lead communications across all of the church’s ministries, from the website, emailer, and social media to printed pieces and Sunday announcements. The role is about 30 hours a week of hands-on design and execution, and about 10 hours of strategy, so the church needs someone who can build the plan and also do the work. The Communications Director will report to the Executive Pastor and serve alongside a staff that is relaxed, close, and glad to help each other.
Build a clear communications plan that fits the mission and values of FBC Umatilla and keeps every ministry speaking with one voice.
Create the workflow for how requests come in, get approved, and go out, including timelines and lead times that ministries can count on.
Keep the website, event pages, weekly emailer, and e-bulletin accurate and current every week.
Plan and post social media content that points people to what is happening at the church.
Design graphics, flyers, signage, and seasonal printed pieces, since the church still leans on paper.
Sit down with ministry leaders, listen well to what they need, and turn it into something that works.
Plan communications for major events, sermon series, and seasonal campaigns well ahead of time.
Celebrate what God has done after an event with “praises,” such as a post or a short testimony video.
Support Sunday communication, including stage announcements and seasonal graphics.
Design custom video thumbnails for YouTube and the church’s digital platforms.
Lead and encourage the volunteer creative team of photographers and videographers, and coordinate any contract help.
Manage the equipment, software, and workflows that communications depends on.
Help plan and budget for communications resources.
