Director of Technology and Production Mercy Vineyard Church

Director of Technology & Production, Mercy Vineyard Church

Mercy is a diverse, Christ-centered community in northeast Minneapolis. Our hope is to enjoy life together by connecting to God, loving each other, and serving our city. Whether it’s at our Sunday services or in our Connect Groups, we want everything to be driving towards Jesus and relationships. We are a part of Vineyard USA. Each Vineyard church is unique to its specific context but operates through the lens of Vineyard’s core values as we minister among diverse populations and in unique environments.

The Director of Technology and Production provides leadership and oversight for all in-person and online audio, video, lighting, and production elements of Sunday worship services, special events, and other ministry gatherings requiring technical support. This role leads and develops volunteer production teams, ensures distraction-free and high-quality execution across church environments, and builds sustainable systems that support consistent excellence. This is a hands‑on role in a lean, volunteer-supported environment and requires the ability to personally execute production responsibilities throughout the week and step into any production role when needed.
