Multi-site church managing worship, education, and community programming across two Minnesota locations
Grace Church operates across Eden Prairie and Chaska with a tech stack anchored in worship production (ProPresenter, Q-Sys, Dante, Art-Net) and ministry operations (Planning Center Online, Paycom). The 32-person hiring pipeline is heavily education-focused (14 roles), with accelerating velocity and a junior-heavy seniority mix — consistent with a church scaling its kids' and youth programming amid recurring challenges around volunteer recruitment and production crew scheduling.
Grace Church is a multi-site congregation serving the Eden Prairie and Chaska areas with programming spanning children's ministry, student engagement, and adult life-stage offerings. The organization manages worship production across multiple venues using professional audio-visual tooling (Q-Sys, ProPresenter, Dante networking), alongside operational systems for scheduling (Planning Center Online), payroll (Paycom), and volunteer coordination. Active projects include seasonal programming (VBS, summer camp, retreats), ongoing Sunday and weekday kids' classes, and a newer young-adult ministry launch. Core operational friction centers on volunteer sourcing, production support for rental events, and balancing ministry expansion within budget constraints.
ProPresenter for presentation, Q-Sys for audio mixing, Dante for networked audio, Art-Net and sACN for lighting control, and Ableton Live for music production. Planning Center Online handles worship scheduling and coordination.
Current projects include VBS, summer camp, winter retreat, kids' Sunday and Tuesday programs, a new young-adult (re:generation) ministry launch, buddy system inclusion program, social media expansion, and monthly newsletters. Volunteer recruitment and production crew scheduling are noted operational challenges.
