We’re growing again.
It’s such an exciting season at Precept, and I’m thrilled to share that I’m hiring for a full-time, remote Bible Study Content Writer role.
This role sits at the heart of why we do what we do: Bible study.
What makes Precept unique is that we don’t simply ask people to read Scripture and then interpret it for them. We equip people with the tools to observe, interpret, and apply God’s Word to their everyday lives for themselves.
We’re looking for someone with a deep love for Scripture and a passion for helping others know God through His Word. This person should also love crafting Bible studies and content that helps people engage deeply and live differently because of it.
If this sounds like you — or someone you know — I’d love to connect.
