Multisite Strategy: A Fast-Growing Trend that Affects Planting If the house church is a growing model that needs to be embraced as part of the variety of models being used to plant churches, it is clear that multi-site is a new and widespread phenomena that must be addressed.  In fact, many multi-site churches plan on using new and additional sites as the seed of future church plants.  However, there is concern that some churches that were formerly focused on church planting are becoming exclusively focused on being multi-site.  There are also concerns about the ability of multi-site campuses to adequately contextualize to its local community.  Today, there are many churches “developing a growing multisite base and also a parallel church planting network.”  Also, categorizing new campuses verses new churches is difficult.  For Ed and Warren, “if your new campus has a vision, budget, leader, or board that’s not part of the sending campus, then” you’ve planted a new church.  Some advantages of multisite include: accountability, shared resources, the infusion of trained workers, shared DNA, prayer support, a network for problem solving, and no need to “reinvent the wheel.” Of course, many churches are strategically starting multi-site campuses with the goal that they would eventually develop their own vision, budget, and leadership.  But, the question remains, when should you plant a church verses launch a campus?  A great way to answer that depends on who will be leading the new work.  Some leaders are wired to be church planters.  Some are wired to lead campuses.  Ideally, churches who are pursuing multisite are also planting churches – either through their satellite congregations or a parallel strategy. 

What does multisite strategy have to do with Anglican church planting?
How does multisite fit with traditional diocesan or cathedral models?
