In Episode 398 of the NewChurches Q&A Podcast, Daniel and Todd discuss how churches should decide their multiplication strategy.
“Do you think we will continue to see movements, like what’s happening at Redeemer with Timothy Keller and the Village Church with Matt Chandler, with multisite mega churches that have a big personality, with at least national attention behind them, as a lead pastor, where those campuses turn off into autonomous local churches, as more and more churches seek to push against the structuring around a celebrity pastor?”
In This Episode, You’ll Discover:
- Why churches use a multisite strategy
- How churches should determine their multiplication strategy
