FAQs

  • We strive for excellence in everything we do, but that doesn’t mean you have to be excellent to join the team!

    We are looking for open and ready hearts, who are willing to learn, willing to serve, and willing to say “yes”.

    So whether you’re a seasoned creative, or completely new to it, get in touch with us!

    Over your time in the media team, we will continue to give feedback and help you to improve in your creative skills, so we’d love for you to be open to feedback, and be willing to practice.

  • Welcome to the team! We’re so excited to work with you, grow with you, and get to know you.

    Firstly, we will get to know you, your skillsets and your availabilities, then fit you into a lane that suits these aspects.

    There is always room to grow or learn a new skill, so if you’re interested in an area of media that you’d like to learn, reach out!

  • Our media team is full of opportunities for all skillsets and capacities.

    A non-extensive list of roles available include: photography, videography, graphic design, posting schedules, strategy, online engagement, copywriting (caption writing), and calendar management.

  • We always want to capture & post an authentic representation of hm.church, so sharing moments from church events, services, and community activities is perfect.

    We love to focus on value-giving content - sermon recaps, service recaps, encouraging scriptures & devotionals, and encouraging words.

    We respect the privacy of the members of our church, so we avoid capturing intimate moments such as worship & prayer with distinguishable features - we only shoot from the back during worship and prayer, no faces.

  • There’s always so much happening at church, so generally we end up posting almost 5-7 times a week, but it is also dependent on the week and what events are happening.

    There is no strict obligation of how many times to post, but we do want to maximise the marketing potential of social media for events, giving enough notice to our followers.

  • We primarily use Instagram & Facebook, and have recently started using Spotify to distribute our sermon audio.

    Our website is also a regularly updated for events & church updates.

  • Whether you’d like to step up into more of a leadership position, learn a new creative skill, or learn more about worship in media through discipleship, please approach our Worship & Creative Pastor, Ryan, and he will point you in the right direction.

  • Our primary target audience is the Sunshine Coast. First and foremost, we are a church for the Sunshine Coast, and so our heart is to reach the lost here in our local city.

    Our secondary target audience is anyone, anywhere, and everywhere! This is obviously not an effective target audience, but as a church, we believe the gospel is for everyone.

    “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere— …to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8
