Part-Time Social Media Coordinator

Community of Faith•Hockley, TX

5d•Hybrid

About The Position

At Community of Faith, we believe some of the most powerful stories of what God is doing happen every day. Social media gives us the opportunity to capture what is happening inside our walls and share it far beyond them. It allows us to tell stories of life change, celebrate what God is doing, and invite people to experience the life and community of our church. The Social Media Coordinator will help shape how people experience COF online. This role captures the life, energy, stories, and moments of our church and turns them into compelling digital content that inspires people to engage, belong, and take their next step with Christ. From a powerful moment in worship to a story of life change, a glimpse behind the scenes, or content that simply makes someone stop scrolling, this person helps tell the story of COF in ways that feel authentic, creative, relevant, and unmistakably us. The ideal candidate is a creative storyteller who understands culture, lives comfortably in the digital world, and is always thinking about what could connect next. They have an eye for moments others might miss, understand what makes content worth watching and sharing, and aren't afraid to experiment with new ideas, formats, and trends. They bring creativity and strategy together using social media not simply to promote what is happening at COF, but to build community, invite conversation, and help people encounter Jesus.
