Hospitality and Events Director

Reports to:

Central Director of Ministries

Hours Commitment: 40–45 hours per week

Objective:
The Hospitality and Events Director leads LCBC’s events function at an organizational level, building the strategy, systems, and team that enable excellent events across every ministry and campus. This is a leadership role, not a coordination role. The right person isn’t the one doing everything; they are the one building the infrastructure so the right people can do everything well.

The Hospitality and Events Director serves as a strategic partner to the Guest Experience team and a hospitality consultant across all of LCBC, setting the standard, deploying the right frameworks, and ensuring that every event, whether all‑church or ministry‑specific, reflects who we are.

• Have a personal relationship with Jesus and demonstrate ongoing spiritual growth through everyday habits and practices.
• Support LCBC’s mission to introduce people to Jesus and together fully follow him, along with our ministry philosophy, priorities, and beliefs.
• Be a leader who is:
  • Focused: Work hard with urgency and intensity.
  • Collaborative: Bring others into your work, give and ask for feedback.
  • Growth‑minded: Plan for growth and be ready to pursue personal, spiritual, and professional development when God wants to move.
• Lead the way in LCBC’s values: we run after the one, we pursue excellence, we prioritize relationships, we deploy people for impact, and we are real and relatable.
• Be an LCBC Partner, or willing to become one within 60 days of employment. Regularly attend and participate at LCBC prior to and/or upon employment.

• Lead the Events Function Organizationally
  • Lead and champion the strategy for how LCBC does events—defining the standard, building the playbooks, and holding the organization to them.
  • Contribute to the Annual Strategic Calendar so ministries and leadership have full visibility and can plan with confidence.
  • Sit at the strategic planning table for the Guest Experience team, contributing to ministry‑wide planning, priorities, and decisions.
  • Build and maintain event frameworks, best practices, and documentation that allow LCBC to scale its event quality without relying on any one person.
  • Work with Communications, Design, and other central teams to ensure all‑church events are well‑represented and organizationally supported.
  • Oversee the Special Events process—approving and monitoring events, ensuring contracts and certificates of insurance are obtained when required.
• Lead and Develop the Events Team
  • Recruit, develop, and lead the team of people—staff and volunteers—responsible for event execution, equipping them to own their roles fully.
  • Coach team members so they can run events independently at a high level, not to assist the director.
  • Build volunteer teams for major events, ensuring each person is equipped, empowered, and clear on their role.
  • Coordinate and assist in preparation for All Staff Meetings and other appropriate organizational gatherings, enabling other leaders to plug and play rather than manage logistics.
• All‑Church & Externally Hosted Events
  • Provide strategic oversight and leadership for LCBC’s all‑church events—including All Access, Global Leadership Summit, Grow Leader, Vision Nights, etc.—ensuring execution is delegated and owned at the right level.
  • Partner and coordinate with the Advantage for appropriate onsite events hosted at LCBC.
  • Serve as the primary contact for external organizations LCBC hosts, overseeing the experience from first contact through final follow‑up.
  • Lead vendor relationships, contract negotiations, catering coordination, and event budgets.
  • In partnership with the Experience Team, serve as a Summit Point Leader and liaison for the Global Leadership Summit, managing all communication and planning so Guest Experience Directors can focus on leading their locations.
  • Participate and lead in Generosity Initiative planning alongside the broader team, owning the logistics and overall guest experience for dinners, retreats, and half‑day retreats.
  • Serve as the organizational lead for outside groups bringing conferences into LCBC (Grow Leader, etc.), acting as host,…
