Just wanted to throw out a book recommendation for pastors. I just read the multi-site church revolution by geoff surratt, greg ligon, and warren bird.
Serious props!
First a word about the authors. Geoff Surratt is part of the Seacoast Community Church gang. They are definitely on the leading edge blazing a multi-site trail. Greg Ligon is a huge inspiration to me. He has been leading the multi-site gatherings convened by Leadership Network. And Warren Bird spoke at our theater church forum. What a kingdom player! When Warren Bird speaks I listen :) All three of these guys are shaping the future of the church.
There are currently 1500 multi-site churches across America. They predict that there will be 30,000 multi-site churches within the next few years. I honestly think this multi-site movement is a God thing! The tectonic plates ae shifting.
Here is what I love about this book--it tells the actual stories of actual churches. I love reading about how other people are doing church. For what it's worth, it tells part of our story in chapter 6.
If you're thinking about going multi-site this book is a must read. Think of it as a multi-site map.
Here's an Amazon.com link.

For a quick intro to three of the churches highlighted in the book, listen to the podcast interviews from the Multi-Site Conference last week.
