Synopsis

What is the rapidly expanding multi-site church movement all about? Experience the revolution for yourself and see why it has become the “new normal” for growing churches. A Multi-Site Church Roadtrip takes pastors, church leaders, and anyone who is interested on a tour of multi-site churches across America to see how those churches are handling the opportunities and challenges raised by this dynamic organizational model.Travel with tour guides Geoff Surratt, Greg Ligon, and Warren Bird, authors of The Multi-Site Church Revolution, and enjoy engaging and humorous on-site narratives that show you the creative ways churches of all kinds are expanding their impact through multiple locations. Hear the inside stories and learn about the latest developments. Find out firsthand how the churches in this book are broadening their options for evangelism, service, and outreach—while making better use of their ministry funds. Since each church on this tour is unique, you won’t find a cookie-cutter approach to ministry. Instead, you’ll gain some practical tools you can use to explore a multi-site direction at your own church.

Recommended by a friend as part of a separate conversation about post-pandemic responses to church. Given that this was written in 2006, I’d be interested in how it has aged. Still, this is a compendium of resources, helpful questions and experiences.......more

This book is a good resource for churches wanting to move into the multi-site model, but I think the authors of this book miss the point while giving their instruction on multi-site churches. One of the biggest concerns about this book is the authors appear to be much more concerned with instructing......more
