Audio/Visual Director

Grace Fellowship of West Palm Beach, Inc.•West Palm Beach, FL

2d•Onsite

About The Position

The Audio/Visual Director serves as both a technical expert and a ministry leader within Grace Fellowship’s Worship Ministry. This role is responsible for the overall planning, execution, and excellence of all audio, visual, lighting, and broadcast systems that support weekend services, special events, and campus-wide productions. Equally important to technical proficiency is the ability to recruit, develop, and shepherd a team of volunteers. The A/V Director will invest in people — equipping them to serve with excellence and building a team culture grounded in the grace and mission of Jesus Christ. This position reports directly to the Worship Pastor and collaborates closely with other ministry leaders to ensure every production element enhances worship and communicates the gospel clearly. In keeping with Grace Fellowship’s belief that all team members are ministers of the gospel (Section 1.3 of the Employee Handbook), this role carries both an administrative and a ministry dimension. The A/V Director is expected to engage with the spiritual life of the church, not merely its technical infrastructure.
