ABOUT YOU

You love video and understand the impact it has on its viewers. Although you’re not an expert on all the AVL systems Friends uses, you’re excited to learn and have the aptitude to quickly put into practice what you’ve learned. You see how technology can be a significant tool in enabling and empowering Friends Church to advance the Gospel.

You have a creative gift and a deep appreciation for how visuals can powerfully communicate truth. Your passion for design and storytelling shines through in the way you use visual elements to amplify the Gospel—capturing attention, evoking emotion, and helping people connect more deeply with the message of Jesus.

You are calm under pressure and enjoy the thrill of live production. You are energized when you have opportunities to troubleshoot and solve problems. You think quickly on your feet and jump in with a servant’s heart wherever help is needed. You are flexible, able to adapt your schedule and focus as priorities shift or events come up.

You care about people. You seek to understand people’s comfort level with technology as well as their learning styles so you can best equip them to use it. You enjoy training and developing people and are articulate and clear. The people who have been trained by you would say you were patient and kind as you did so.

While you could work anywhere, using your gifts for God’s Kingdom gives you the most joy and fulfillment. You believe the gospel is the most important message ever, so seeing it advanced and lived out in people’s lives is of utmost importance to you.
