React Native Developer — Premium Faith App — 5-Week Build — iOS + Android + Firebase

???? WHO WE ARE
We are building JESUS IS GOD — a bold, unapologetic, supernatural faith movement platform. With one Instagram reel already at 2.4 million views, we are creating a premium mobile app that proclaims “JESUS IS GOD” with fire and excellence.

This is not another generic church app. It is a cinematic, luxury experience built to the standard of a deep matte black ceramic mug with rich metallic gold lettering. Every screen must feel premium, commanding, and anointed.

The complete master reference document (v4.0) is finished: full design system, color palette, typography, metallic gold treatments, flame particles, sword-glint animations, 19 Firestore collections, sprint roadmap, real launch content, and exact screen specifications. You are not designing — you are executing a locked blueprint with excellence.

???? THE OPPORTUNITY

You will receive the full detailed specification document, real content, design assets, and a structured 5-week sprint plan with clear Friday milestones. Your role is to translate the spec into clean, production-ready code — fast, polished, and faithful to every non-negotiable detail.
