Events Manager

The Learning Team Events Manager is primarily responsible for equipping staff to understand and adopt the Life.Church culture through organized, welcoming, and excellent learning experiences. This role onboards new staff members and new team leaders into their required and optional learning opportunities by communicating with staff members and their leaders during each onboarding stage, enrolling and notifying staff in E-Learnings, supporting learning event invites, and updating the Learning Team and Global calendars. The Events Manager partners closely with Learning Team leadership to plan and prepare for a variety of learning opportunities, ranging from large-scale hybrid(in-person and remote participation) events to small-group virtual sessions. This role also oversees the Learning Team event communication, event resources, event setup and volunteers, and provides strong project management support to help the team operate efficiently. The Events Manager is the primary point of contact for participants, ensuring they feel valued, informed, and cared for throughout the learning experiences. This role supports the team’s direction, initiatives, and ministry efforts to achieve outcomes that further Life.Church’s mission and reach people for Christ.

At Life.Church, we exist to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ. It’s been our mission since 1996 and has guided us every day. Leading people isn’t just an expectation; it’s a necessity. It’s a cornerstone of our culture. That’s why we’re always seeking leaders—leaders like you—to bring your skills to life. We are one church meeting in multiple locations, and we want to help you become the person God made you to be.

The Learning Team exists to help staff members as they step into their staff roles and develop their God-given strengths, talents, and areas of growth. With the entire Life.Church staff team and the mission and culture of our church in mind, we create classes, training, discussions, blog posts, how-to documents, and training resources to empower our staff to develop and grow as our church grows.
