Event Production Coordinator

Journey Church • Bozeman, MT

1d • Onsite

About The Position

Journey Church is seeking a detail-oriented, technically skilled Event Production Coordinator to join our team. This full-time role primarily focuses on owning the technical execution of all church and community events hosted in our facility, serving as a friendly, helpful, and accommodating point of contact for the technical needs of events using our space. Because event volume fluctuates, the majority of your weekly hours will be spent preparing for our Sunday worship gatherings, working on AVL integration/maintenance projects, and helping shepherd our volunteer production team alongside our Production Director. This role also provides essential scheduling flexibility for the department, including occasionally leading Sunday services to allow the Director time off. The ideal candidate has a passion for technical excellence, a heart for ministry, and thrives in a dynamic team environment.

Requirements

• Proven experience operating and troubleshooting modern live production environments (audio mixing consoles, video switchers, lighting systems, and software like ProPresenter).
• 1–3 years of experience in live event production (church, theatre, or corporate) is preferred, but a strong, proven aptitude for technical learning and a servant's heart are most critical.
• Ability to remain calm, friendly, and helpful under pressure when interacting with outside clients and guests.
• High degree of self-motivation and the ability to execute events with excellence with minimal supervision.
• Strong organizational skills with an aptitude for catching the little things in logistics, handling complex details of system operation, and project management.
• A clear passion for local church ministry and a commitment to Journey’s mission, values, and Statement of Faith.

Responsibilities

• Own the setup, operation, and strike of all audio, video, and lighting systems for mid-week church ministries and outside community organizations (conferences, banquets, weddings, funerals, etc.).
• Act as the primary on-site technician for events, occasionally coordinating part-time production staff or volunteer assistants as needed.
• Serve as a welcoming, helpful, and solution-oriented technical contact for event organizers, ensuring their technical needs are met with excellence.
• Partner with the Operations Pastor and Event Coordinator to manage schedules and review technical requirements well ahead of event dates.
• Manage the weekly technical prep for Sunday Gatherings, including stage setups, mid-week rehearsal, sermon graphics, and weekly digital assets (e.g., sermon notes, YouTube descriptions, and slides).
• Help train, equip, and shepherd our weekend volunteer production crew, creating a supportive environment where they can thrive.
• Step into the Sunday production execution and leadership rotation (as scheduling of Saturday events permits) including assuming full responsibility in the absence of the Production Director.
• Collaborate on design, gear replacement, and hands-on integration/installation of new production upgrades throughout the facility.
• Maintain and troubleshoot campus AVL equipment to ensure high reliability.
• Assist with budget planning and manage monthly expense reconciliation for role-assigned purchases.

Benefits

• Comprehensive employer-contributed medical insurance options, with multiple plan choices available for individuals and families.
• Church-matched 403B retirement benefits plan.
• Generous PTO/vacation allotment, plus paid holidays.
• Opportunities for professional development and training in technical skills and ministry leadership.
