Videographer/Editor

Our church... is a non-denominational multi-site church with four St. Louis-area campuses where we gather each weekend to study this ancient story found in Scripture that is still transforming lives today. We believe church should be a place where believers in Jesus and skeptics can stand side-by-side to study truth and ask tough questions. We blend teaching and worship with art and technology to create a service where you can experience the message of Jesus in practical and life-changing ways.

Videographer/Editor......is a full-time position that will support The Crossing’s video team by helping create clear, compelling, and high-quality visual stories that point people to Jesus.

This hands-on role works closely with the Senior Filmmaker to plan, set up, capture, edit, organize, and deliver video content for weekend services, ministries, events, and other church-wide experiences. The Videographer/Editor serves as a second shooter and production partner on larger projects while also taking ownership of assigned video projects from concept through final delivery.

The right person is a dependable, organized, and growing filmmaker who enjoys both the creative and practical sides of video production. They are comfortable jumping in where needed - whether preparing for a shoot, capturing footage, editing a project, organizing media, keeping the studio ready, or responding to a short-timeline weekend request. They receive direction well, communicate clearly, and help the video team work with greater consistency, flexibility, and excellence.
