Production Director

Full-Time | Castleton Campus

E91 is looking for a Production Director who loves people as much as they love production.

The technical side of this role is real — you'll lead audio, video, lighting, livestream, and staging across weekend services and church-wide events. But what we're really looking for is someone who understands that great production starts with great people. The most important thing you'll do here isn't run a board — it's develop the volunteers around you, invest in their growth, and build a team that loves showing up together on a Sunday morning.

If you've got production experience and a genuine passion for pouring into others, this might be exactly the kind of role you've been looking for.

What to expect at E91:

Working in ministry is demanding, and we know it. That's why we take work-life rhythms seriously — not just as a policy, but as a value. Our staff are expected to give their best, and we're equally committed to making sure they have the margin to stay healthy doing it. You'll be part of a team that puts people first, says what needs to be said, and genuinely believes we're better together.

E91 has been helping people take next steps with Jesus for over 100 years — and this role is a big part of how that continues to happen every single week.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS

  • Lead and oversee all production environments for weekend services, ministry events, and special gatherings.
  • Develop and maintain a unified production vision and standard for audio, video, lighting, livestream, staging, and presentation systems.
  • Supervise and support production staff and key volunteer leaders.
  • Recruit, train, schedule, and develop volunteers and team leaders across all production areas.
  • Collaborate closely with the Weekend Ministries Pastor, Communications Director, and Creative Arts team to execute engaging worship experiences.
  • Oversee service programming, production flow, rehearsals, and technical execution for contemporary and traditional environments.
  • Coordinate with the Teaching Team and Communications to prepare sermon slides, graphics, and service elements for weekend services.
  • Direct the planning and implementation of production elements for services and events.
  • Lead video production initiatives including live video direction, prerecorded content, livestream coordination, and multimedia integration.
  • Oversee maintenance, troubleshooting, and improvement of all production systems and equipment.
  • Provide leadership for equipment upgrades, installations, and future production planning.
  • Assist in the development and management of departmental budgets related to production systems and technology.
  • Ensure production spaces remain organized, functional, and prepared for ministry use.
  • Provide technical leadership and oversight for weddings, funerals, conferences, and other special events.
  • Attend staff meetings, planning sessions, rehearsals, and ministry events as required.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

MINIMUM REQUIRED EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE, LICENSES AND/OR CERTIFICATIONS
