Multisite Unstuck Course

Without a clear strategy, going multisite can get you multi-stuck. Instead of "un-multisiting," let's get things moving again. Our course has 11 modules to help create a clear path that helps you lead your multisite church towards sustained health.

Course Description

It can feel like there's a buffet of strategies out there that you can pick from and be successful. While it's true that you can do multisite many different ways, each "way" has some increasingly predictable outcomes.

A strategy that was supposed to help you engage more people, maximize resources and eliminate space constraints can instead knot things up in multiple areas of the ministry-leaving you feeling stuck and unsure of how to get back to momentum and health.

This course helps you learn and apply best practices to find greater multisite effectiveness in your unique context.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we already need to be a multisite church to take this course?

How much time should I prepare to spend on each lesson?

Our online courses are in-depth and action-oriented. Each module includes written teaching, video teaching, and specific next steps for you to take. Some will include books to read or research to gather. All include exercises and conversations to take to your leadership team meetings.

You can expect to complete the teaching portions of a module in under 30 minutes. For the exercises and conversations, we've included estimated times to help you prepare accordingly.

More generally, in our other online courses, we've found most leaders were spending about one month per module. This one is new, so we will be watching to see what the rhythm is like for this course.

Find what works for you. You may find you move faster through some lessons and slower on others, depending on the topic. Truthfully, that's the beauty of this course. It works with your busy schedule, while giving tangible next steps that help you implement your learnings in your unique context.
