The use of multisite as a strategy for church growth is ever-increasing. But the reasons behind why churches are moving to a multisite model vary from church to church.<\/p>\n

Some churches are using it as an alternative to a large capital campaign. Instead of building a bigger building, these churches are meeting more frequently in secondary venues spread out over a city or even a region. In lieu of one mig meeting with everyone, there is a “main campus” with several satellites.<\/p>\n

Other churches use a multisite model as a way of church planting. They identify areas of the city in which a church is needed, start a campus, then launch it as an autonomous church later on.<\/p>\n

There are other reasons as well, but whatever the end goal is for a multisite strategy, as you can see by the findings from Leadership Network below, the results have been incredibly positive.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. An impressive 85% of surveyed multisite churches are growing\u2014and at the strong rate of 14% per year.<\/li>\n
  2. Churches typically go multisite in the 1,000 size range, though almost half say they could have become multisite at a smaller size.<\/li>\n
  3. Campus viability starts at 75-350 people, depending on your model.<\/li>\n
  4. The typical multisite church is just 4 years into the process, and 57% plan to launch an additional campus in the next 12 months.<\/li>\n
  5. One in three (37%) multisite churches started a new campus as the result of a merger.<\/li>\n
  6. The vast majority (88%) of churches report that going multisite increased the role of lay participation.<\/li>\n
  7. The vast majority (87%) of campus pastors are found internally\u2014trained and hired from within the church.<\/li>\n
  8. Multisite campuses grow far more than church plants, and likewise multisite campuses have a greater evangelistic impact than church plants.<\/li>\n
  9. Nearly half (48%) of multisite churches directly sponsor new churches.<\/li>\n
  10. The recommended distance between campuses is a travel time of 15-30 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
