We’re looking for a creative storyteller who can help us communicate what God is doing in our church through compelling Instagram content. This isn’t about chasing trends or growing followers for the sake of growth. It’s about creating content that celebrates life change, reflects our culture, and inspires people to take their next step with Jesus. ABOUT THE ROLE We’re looking for a talented Instagram Content Creator and Video Editor with a strong eye for storytelling, design, and short-form video.

OUR PHILOSOPHY We’re not trying to build personalities. We’re trying to build a culture. We aren’t looking for content that simply looks polished. We want content that tells the truth, reflects real people, and helps others experience what God is doing at Restoration. Before creating anything, we ask: 1. Does it reflect one of our values? 2. Does it tell a story instead of simply sharing information? 3. Does it create value for our audience? 4. Does it reflect the culture of Restoration? WEEKLY TIME COMMITMENT • Approximately 12 hours per week. • Flexible remote schedule with consistent weekly deadlines. • Regular collaboration with the Content Calendar Manager and Creative Director. PAID CREATIVE AUDITION Finalists will be invited to complete a short paid creative project using real Restoration Church content. We’ll provide photos, a full sermon recording, brand assets, and creative direction. Applicants will create: • One short sermon Reel. • One Instagram carousel. • One set of Instagram Story graphics. We’ll compensate you for your time. We’re less interested in polished perfection than we are in your ability to recognize meaningful stories, make strong creative decisions, and communicate the mission and culture of Restoration Church. TO APPLY Please include: • A short introduction about yourself. • A portfolio featuring Reels, carousels, or other social content. • Links to Instagram accounts or brands you’ve created content for, if applicable. • A brief explanation of why this role interests you. • The editing and design tools you use. • Your hourly rate and weekly availability.
