BJC - Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty

BJC - Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty BJC defends and extends religious liberty for ALL people. Visit us at BJConline.org and follow us on Twitter and Instagram

BJC defends religious freedom for all people and protects the separation of church and state in the historic Baptist tradition, working through education, litigation and legislation. We advocate a “golden rule” of religious liberty: Do not ask government to promote your religion if you don’t want government to promote somebody else’s religion; and do not permit government to hinder somebody else’s religion if you don’t want government to hinder your own religion.

BJC is changing. Not what we believe - we’ve been fighting for religious freedom for 90 years, and we are not stopping – but how we show up. How we sound. How we look.

We are building something new, and we need a creative who wants to build with us.
The Creative Producer will work within the Communications Department and develop graphics, social content, and advocacy materials that push a compelling narrative about BJC's mission toward faith freedom for all.
