“Not only has Rich’s experience saved us months of struggling on our own trying to figure out the complexities of multisite, his ‘get-it’ factor on the kind of church we’re trying to become has customized his approach to be tailor-made to our setting. We’re so grateful for his investment in helping us expand our Kingdom-building capacity.”

“Making room for “those who aren’t here yet” has been part of the Liquid DNA from the start and we are really pumped about becoming a multi-site church (okay, we are a little scared and overwhelmed as well:). We feel like we God has made it pretty clear for us that we are to be a multisite church and it has also been clear that God has provided someone like Rich to help us through this process. I LOVE Rich’s experience-driven insight and people-focused approach. At Liquid we are not about building buildings, but reaching people and Rich couldn’t be a better fit for us as we seek advice and feedback in accomplishing what we feel God is putting before us. I am a huge Rich Birch Fan!”
