In Episode 395 of the NewChurches Q&A Podcast, Daniel and Ed discuss the differences in multisite campuses and church plants.
“I have a question out of the book MultiChurch by Brad House and Gregg Allison. They have a spectrum that goes all the way from a pillar church to a network of churches. My question focuses on what do you see as the pros and cons between a federation – one church contextualized in multiple locations – and a cooperative church planting movement – one church made up of multiple interdependent churches?”
In This Episode, You’ll Discover:
- What makes church planting an effective way to multiply
- If there is a preferred method for multiplying churches
