At Willow Creek Community Church our mission is to help people take next steps to Love God, Love People, and Change the World. We are a multi-generational, multi-ethnic multiplying movement of Christ followers passionate about worshiping Jesus, growing in faith, sharing our lives & faith with others, reaching people who don’t have a relationship with God, and blessing our communities and world through our transformed lives & radical generosity.
Words matter. They have the power to open doors, soften hearts, and stir the kind of curiosity and wonder that causes people to take next steps in their faith with Jesus. As the copy writer you are our “words person.” If it has words, you will have your hands on the content at some point in the process, ensuring it is both clear and compelling, removing barriers in the user experience and staying true to the Willow brand voice. You understand multiple writing formats and audiences, knowing the best way to reach people through in-person stage announcements, digital newsletters and social media copy, informational and promotional website and app copy, blog reflections and stories, and video scripts. Your ability to listen, seek out information, and craft cohesive themes throughout all your content will help move our congregation and community on a journey to know and grow with God.
