Yes, I believe that multi-siting is a 21st century version of church planting and specifically "daughter church planting." At the end of the day, whether you church plant or launch a multi-site campus, it is a new congregation in a new community that did not exist previously. The outcome is the same, the pathway is different, and I celebrate all strategies that multiply congregations. MultiSite Guy Tina,

This is usually good for 1-3 years. This is volunteer intensive which is good in the start-up phase because everyone in the core has a job to do. This builds energy, excitement, and commitment. The second phase and goal of most multisite campuses is to get to a 24/7 location for all the reasons you mentioned. Every new congregation eventually needs to establish a long-term, stable footprint and 24/7 presence in the community it is serving. The recent Leadership Network survey of multisite churches revealed a 90% success rate of multisite campuses. The survey also revealed that 1 out of 3 multisite churches has a campus through a merger. Hope this helps, Jim Anthony,

I'm a young church planter considering the possibility of merging my two small congregations with a larger church in the area in a multisite approach. I'm wondering what your thoughts (or the research is) as to the differences between a one day a week rented facility or a 24/7 rented facility. Although the 24/7 is more expensive, which is more likely to succeed long term? With the 24/7 we could offer additional services that could not be done in the one-day a week and wouldn't have setup/teardown. What are your thoughts on comparing the two? Thanks for the post.

This person needs to be a high-capacity leader, team player, and DNA carrier. Everything rises or falls on leadership.
