Starting A Multisite Campus
|
February 24, 2011 Day one at the Radicalis Conference Geoff Surratt shared, in a church-planting break out, about multi-sitting. Geoff shared his wisdom about when and how to start a multisite campus. Here is a brief outline of lessons he learned.
1. The Sr. or lead pastor must own and have a compelling vision.
Why not to start multisite campus: Kick starting growth. If you are not growing now, starting a campus is not a solution.
When to start a campus: § After you have utilized multiple services and are out of room. § Can’t reach any more people fro Christ due to room issues. § You find an area where there is no life-giving churches reaching lost.
2. Chose the right leader - Five Characteristics of a good campus pastor § Enthusiastic, visionary leadership from the 2nd chair. § Team Builder § Self-starter with a managerial work ethic § Good communicator § Genuine care for people - Five characteristics that will sink a campus § Unavailable or unapproachable § Non-delegator § Inflexible § Responder rather than initiator § Lacks Passion
3. Choose the right location § Right distance from the original campus – The better the main campus, the farther away the campus will need to be. § Right size – seats 300 to 500 § Right address § Right Price – price it according to how many you envision starting
4. Offer the same experience – You need to reproduce yourself or they won’t come. § Good worship experience § Good teaching § Good children’s ministry § Good technology
5. Embrace a one-church philosophy. | |
