A couple of weeks ago in my sermon "Outside the Walls" in the We Will Tell Revisited Series I talked about our plans as a church to launch our first satellite campus in the next 12-18 months. We are planning to launch a multi-site model in which Grace would have a number of satellite campuses around the region. I wanted to use a few posts to unpack the multi-site concept. Some of the info in this post is thanks to the Acts 29 Network.
What Is a Multi-Site Church?
- A Single Church
- With Multiple Worship Services
- In Multiple Locations
- Some use live speakers and some use video venues
Advantages of a Multi-Site Church vs. a Church Plant
- Oversight by One Board
- One Budget
- Allows the church to maximize it's staff
- Shared Resources
Why initiate a Multi-Site Church?- Evangelism Potential
- A Creative Way to Manage Growth
- A Strategy for Reaching Different Communities
Our intention with our first multi-site would be to use live worship and live preaching, but that the satellite would use the same sermon series, website, ministry philosophy, etc. We are taking a look over at the Harborcreek/ Wesleyville/ Penn State Behrend area right now to see what God might be up to. Stay tuned...

Nice to hear some information about your Multi-Site Church. My church here in the Philippines (Evangelical Free Church of Vista Verde)used the church planting method as a way of reaching many souls for Christ. Pray that all Christians churches whatever method they may have will bring much glory to our awesome God! Thanks.
Grazie per questo distacco, è stato molto utile e ha detto un sacco
