Social Media Manager

Position Summary:
The Social Media Manager is responsible for managing Athey Creek's social media channels — including Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, X, and email marketing — and for the day-to-day content and community management that drives our online reach. Because our digital platforms serve as a front door to the church for many people, this role requires more than social media expertise: it requires a deep understanding of Athey Creek's voice, values, and theological distinctives, and a genuine heart to care for people online, not just grow an audience. This is not a marketing strategy or paid advertising role. The ideal candidate is someone with proven platform knowledge, strong content instincts, and the ability to build and lead a volunteer team — all in service of helping people connect with the ministry of Athey Creek.
