Crossroads Church is a passionate, growing community of faith where we are intentional about welcoming people in, growing them in their faith and sending them out to be all that God calls them to. Our church is conveniently located in Concord, North Carolina just outside of Charlotte. The Queen city has so much to offer, including being the home of the Carolina Panthers and other major attractions, and is close to both the Blue Ridge Mountains and coastline.

The Technical Arts Coordinator (TAC) has overall responsibility for leading the video, broadcast, and media production functions of Crossroads Church for services and special events.  In addition, the TAC will manage the creative process to produce graphics, videos, and other creative elements for Sunday services, promotion, and the website.
