This position will serve as the Lead Audio Technician, taking a hands-on role in mixing and troubleshooting while also leading, training, and developing audio volunteers and team leaders.

  • Adaptable, flexible, and teachable (essentially, the ability to defer one's personal preferences in favor of the larger vision expressed by the ministry leadership).
  • Ability to develop and lead the long-term plan for growing live production in all related ministries (i.e., Kids, Students, Academy, etc.)
Personal and Spiritual Responsibilities:
  • A personal relationship with Jesus Christ, demonstrated through growing in a Grace Group, participating in Grace Worship, and serving with the Grace Family.
  • Must be an active member of GBC Knoxville campus.
  • Actively supports the mission, vision, and values of GBC.
  • Strong administrative discipline and organizational skills.
Core Responsibilities:
Leadership & Team Development -
  • Lead, mentor, and develop the production team, including personnel in audio, lighting, and live production management.

  • Foster a culture of excellence, collaboration, and spiritual growth.
Production Oversight & Systems Management -
  • Serve as the Lead Audio Technician, directly mixing services and events as needed, troubleshooting issues in real time, and maintaining consistent, high-quality audio across all environments.
  • Ensure seamless execution of worship services, chapels, and events.
  • Oversee the maintenance, upgrades, and optimization of campus-wide technical systems.
  • Develop and implement processes for production efficiency and excellence.
  • Collaborate with the broadcast team to ensure high-quality live-streamed and recorded content.
