Multi-Site Churches


September 22, 2005

I read a post over at Greg Surratt’s blog offering people to ask questions about the multi-site church movement. He and a few other guys are speaking at a church in Naperville, IL for the Multi-Site Church Conference. I think there are questions to be asked on the movement and I want you guys to offer you thoughts and questions either here on my blog or over at his.

My comments over on his blog.

“The thoughts that have gone through my head about multi-site churches are why not plant a church instead and use the same resource you would use to use the site as a multi-site? You are still impacting the kingdom but in a few years could move those financial resources to a new site and start all over again. Are multi-site churches this generation’s denominations? Growing a church in a city is one thing, offering different types of services (gen-x, emerging, traditional, Spanish or Koren) but are multi-site churches that are offering services in cities other than the original just doing it to grow?

I think that Seacoast is doing a great job reaching people and building a community and I enjoyed the service I attended in Savannah but think there questions that need to be asked about the multi-site movement.”
