A fast-growing church in Seattle that’s popular with the twentysomething crowd launched three new campuses on the same day. Although the multi-site movement was championed by big box churches, the phenomenon has spread to smaller communities.
"Multi-site (one church in two or more locations) is no longer just for a church of 2,000 or 5,000 or 10,000," said Geoff Surratt, co-author of A Multi-Site Church Road Trip, in a recent episode of Leadership Network’s "The Show."
"We see churches as small as two or three hundred weekend attenders starting to launch new campuses," said Surratt, countering early criticisms that the multi-site movement was about megachurches launching more megachurches.
