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.
Must-Haves
- Professional experience in church leadership: you’re a pastor, church leader, preacher, or similar role (3+years)
- English writing skills and a willingness to improve
- Adaptable voice and tone (we have a style guide to help)
- The ability to breathe life into traditionally dry topics.
Nice-To-Haves
- Previous writing experience, either on a personal or company blog
- Experience writing SEO-friendly, long-form blog articles.
Contract Details
- This is not a typical “content marketing” copywriting job. Instead, we want you to become a strategic contributor to the publication, share your articles on social media, and contribute to the voice of the brand
- Article length: from 800 to 2,000+ words
- Compensation: $200 USD per article (with opportunities for more qualified writers to earn more).
Benefits
- You’ll be working in tandem with a friendly, multi-disciplinary team experienced in content production, digital marketing, community building, and SEO
- You have the chance to work on interesting projects and have a byline on a trustworthy, reputable blog
- Flexible workload
- Flexible schedule
- No weekends
- Ongoing & long term work.
