Faith-Based Leadership Writer

We’re looking to build a long-term relationship with a writer experienced in faith-based leadership. Someone with a love of writing and storytelling who is also passionate about, and experienced in, leading faith-based organizations or church communities.

You’ll be pitching, researching, and writing articles on The Lead Pastor, a forward-thinking publication and community for pastors and church leaders who are driving the discussion about church communities and shaping the future of church leadership.

We’re interested in working on a per-piece contract basis (not full-time salaried position). We’re flexible to accommodate thought leaders’ busy schedules. You could write one article per month, or one every other month, for example.

Topics we cover are:

• Church leadership: tactical advice as well as theoretical and philosophical approaches to leadership training, community building, and leadership styles
• Church communications: how to create church communication plans and strategies, how to use and implement communication technology in churches
• Church management: how to facilitate financial or donor management, church growth management, church administration, and more
• Church technology: how and why to use technology in church, what presentation technology is and why to use it, the best church technologies to use 

You’re A Great Fit If You...

• Love writing about church leadership, ranging from the philosophical to the practical side of the profession. You love sharing knowledge and want to make a name for yourself as an expert in this niche. Church leadership is actually your thing. We’re looking for thought leaders (or thought leaders “to-be”) with experience in the field.

• Own your work—and want a platform to build an authentic relationship with a wide audience. We care deeply about our rapidly-growing audience and want to publish best-in-class content that they will absolutely love.
