Predictable Outcomes for Multisite Churches
One church meeting in multiple locations is not new.
It began in Acts 2 with the church of Jerusalem meeting in many locations. The one church-multiple locations concept has seen many expressions throughout church history as church leaders adapted to changing cultural realities and leveraged technological advances.
COVID-19 did not change the multisite trends we were already seeing pre-pandemic, but rather, it accelerated them.
In a world of decreasing in-person attendance and a shift towards hybrid ministry, how can multisite churches thrive in the new normal?
Our team has 100+ years of combined experience leading in multisite churches and learning best practices. We've found there are increasingly some predictable outcomes to the different models and approaches churches take to launching campuses.

We found ourselves at a place where we knew something wasn't quite right but we couldn't quite put our finger on it. We didn't want to wait until we got really stuck.

As your church moves from a single location to more and more campuses, leaders continually face new challenges.
Their roles change and evolve. Developing and empowering more leaders becomes even more essential. How you communicate, how you make decisions, and how you report within the new structure-If there was any crack of confusion before, those issues become tremendous gaps once going multisite. You'll be managing tensions that didn't exist before.

"The best two days of strategic planning I've ever done. Clear, helpful and practical, we did what I thought would take us months (create a new vision) in just two days. Impressive."
Carey Nieuwhof

"Staff is healthier. We're continuing to make a greater impact. The number of people that we've had come to faith is up over 180%. As a ministry, we're more innovative and creative as missionaries to reach our culture."
Derwin Gray

"What a two-day experience for The Crossing! I strongly believe the overall experience with The Unstuck Group is a defining moment for us. The traction gained because of the collective process is HUGE."
Tim Celek
