Multisite

Are you facing a unique multisite question and need some one-on-one coaching? Often a simple phone call is all that’s needed; at other times a site visit or even a longer term relationship might be helpful. If you are looking for a multisite coach contact us and let’s chat about how we might be able to help.

The Multiply Cohort is a group of 10-15 churches who gather three times over 13 months to learn, plan and execute a strategy for multiplication. A cohort has the following advantages:

• Learn from a variety of successful leaders
• Experience best practices from churches across the country
• Network with more than a dozen churches on the same journey
• Spend significant time with your leadership team developing an action plan based on a God-sized vision for your church
• Benefit from outside accountability and coaching as you execute your action plan

When you attend a conference, you walk away with a notebook full of ideas, but no plan for putting those ideas to work in your church. When you hire a consultant, you build a plan based on a single model: the model your consultant is most familiar with.

When you join a community like the Multiply Cohort, you get the advantage of multiple teachers, multiple models, and a customized plan to do what God has called you to accomplish in your community.

Over the past 15+ years I have learned a lot about how to launch and lead church campuses (sites), leading the launch of 14 Seacoast Church’s offsite campuses, overseeing Saddleback Church’s eight campuses, as well as helping shape Pastor Rick Warren’s initiative to launch multiple Saddleback campuses around the world. In addition to being lead author on the two leading books on multisite, I’ve taught and coached hundreds of multisite churches in the U.S. and internationally. Now I’d like to share what I’ve learned to help with your multisite journey.The Multisite Master Class covers all the basics for churches adding additional campuses.

Topics include:

• Could Multisite Work for You?
• Choosing a Model
• How Do You Choose a Campus Pastor?
• Finding the Right Location
• Building a Launch Team
• Replicating Culture and DNA
• Funding a Campus

Fueled by a desire to reach people for Christ, a revolution is underway. Churches are growing beyond the limitations of a single service in one building. Expanding the traditional model, they are embracing the concept of one church with more than one site: multiple congregations sharing a common vision, budget, leadership, and board. Drawing from the examples of churches nationwide, The Multi-Site Church Revolution shows what healthy multi-site churches look like and what motivates congregations to make the change. Discover how your church can: • cast a vision for change • ensure a successful DNA transfer (vision and core values) to its new site • develop new leaders • fund new sites • adapt to structure and staffing change • use technology to support your worship services you’ll identify the reasons churches succeed and how they overcome common snags. The Multi-Site Church Revolution offers guidance, insights, and specific action steps as well as appendixes with practical leadership resources and self-diagnostic tools.
