Are you a media leader who sees production not simply as technology, but as ministry?

Do you know how to lead people, build strong systems, and create worship experiences that engage people both in the room and online?

Are you energized by the opportunity to bring creative vision and technical excellence to a dynamic, intergenerational church with a growing digital reach?

First Baptist Church of South Richmond is a historic, predominantly Black church with a ministry legacy dating back more than 200 years. Today, FBCSR is one church worshiping across two locations in Richmond and North Chesterfield, with an intergenerational congregation of approximately 1,000 people gathering each Sunday.

FBCSR is committed to being relevant while remaining reverent, reaching people for Christ, serving its community, and pursuing excellence in ministry. The church is active, fast-paced, and deeply shaped by worship, fellowship, community engagement, and teamwork.
