Notable Previous Experience
Introduction
My name is Harrison, and I have over seven years of experience serving churches in creative roles. My love for the church began at a young age and my understanding of serving in ministry grew as I pursued my bachelor’s degree in religious education and master’s degree in organizational leadership. While serving in my first role as a ministry assistant for Grace Church in Southern Pines, NC, I discovered a passion for graphic design and communications. Soon, graphic design became a significant part of my role which, alongside working with For Ministry Resources, gave me a greater understanding of the creative process, project management, and marketing.
With these newly developed skills, I began serving small churches near and far, ministries like Theos University, and local small businesses before becoming a full-time graphic designer at NewHope Church. I was quickly promoted to my current role as Creative & Marketing Manager where I oversee graphic design, photography, branding, advertising, and so much more. I’ve been serving at NewHope Church for four years and am excited to see our ministry continue to grow and reach more people.
On this journey, I’ve been blessed to experience all aspects of serving in ministry, giving me a deep understanding of the many needs and challenges churches have. With the opportunity to serve your minstry, my goal would be to provide a stressless marketing solution for your church.
I look forward to connecting with you soon!
