About Greater IMPACT Church
Greater IMPACT Church [https://greaterimpactchurch.org] is a Christ-centered, digital-first ministry on a mission to share the love, truth, and transforming power of Jesus Christ. Operating with a global digital reach alongside expanding local community initiatives in the Greater Reading area, we leverage modern digital technology, interactive worship experiences, and authentic community to connect with people wherever they are. We are seeking relational, welcoming, and ministry-minded Online Campus Hosts to bring warmth, pastoral care, and engaging fellowship to our digital campus.
Role Overview
The Online Campus Host is the front door and heartbeat of our digital Sunday gatherings within the Online Worship Center (`live.greaterimpactchurch.org` / `/worship-center`). Just as an usher or greeter welcomes someone into a physical church building, our Online Hosts create a hospitable, spiritually uplifting, and interactive atmosphere for individuals and families tuning in from across the world.
Serving as a host is more than just typing in a chatbox—it is digital ministry and personal connection. You will welcome first-time visitors, foster discussion around the sermon, post Scripture references and interactive Moments, pray with guests in real time, and ensure our online sanctuary remains safe, encouraging, and Christ-honoring.
Scope of Service & Key Responsibilities
Digital Hospitality & Welcome: Log into the Online Worship Center 30 minutes prior to service time (9:30 AM EST) to warmly greet guests as they enter the lobby and chat room.
Service Facilitation & Engagement: Spark conversations, ask engaging questions prompted by the pastor's message, acknowledge comments, and celebrate prayer answered or life steps shared in the room.
Moments & Scripture Distribution: Post timely service Moments (Connection Cards, giving prompts, salvation invitations, and sermon notes) and quote Bible verses in rhythm with the preaching.
Real-Time Prayer & Care: Respond with empathy to prayer requests submitted in the public chat and invite guests into private 1-on-1 prayer rooms for personalized spiritual support and encouragement.
Chat Safety & Moderation: Maintain a safe, wholesome, and distraction-free environment by upholding community guidelines, muting disruptive participants, and removing inappropriate content with pastoral gentleness.
Team Synergy: Participate in brief pre-service prayer huddles with fellow hosts and team leaders via Google Meet / Slack.
Qualifications & Requirements
Heart for People & Digital Ministry: A warm, conversational communication style with the ability to convey genuine empathy, love, and enthusiasm through written text.
Spiritual Maturity: A vibrant, growing personal relationship with Jesus Christ and alignment with the beliefs and vision of Greater IMPACT Church.
Sunday Availability: Reliable availability on Sunday mornings between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM EST.
Tech Comfort: Reliable laptop or desktop computer, stable high-speed internet connection, and familiarity with web browsers, chat interfaces, and Google Workspace / Slack.
Pastoral Discretion: Integrity and discernment when handling sensitive prayer requests and private guest conversations.
