Creative Communications Manager

Description

The Creative Communications Manager leads the strategy, creative development, coordination, and execution of communications and marketing initiatives for Change Church. This role serves as a key steward of the Change Church brand, ensuring that the church communicates with clarity, creativity, consistency, relevance, and excellence across digital, social, print, promotional, ministry, and church-wide platforms.

This is both a creative and execution-focused role.
