I just did a breakout session for churches that are thinking about going multi-site.
FYI--I believe in giving credit where credit is due. There are some churches that totally inspired us as we began pursuing our multi-site vision. Community Christian Church in Naperville, IL; Northcoast Community Church in San Diego; and Mosaic in LA were helpful in modeling and mentoring us.
I shared a ten-step timeline. I think this is a framework to follow when it comes launching another site. But it is more descriptive than prescriptive.
1) Reconaissance--visit 2-3 churches that are doing multi-site
2) Identify a short-list of potential locations
3) Congregational Survey--get a pulse on where to launch and who is willing to help
4) State of the Church Message--cast the vision to the congregation
5) Recruit Core--multiply leaders and train launch team
6) Prayer Walks--pray on location
7) Ministry Matrix--identify ministry opportunities
8) Identify Key Leaders--if you don't have a qualified campus pastor don't launch
9) Marketing Strategy--make a big splash
10) Preview Services--have a few tune up gatherings before you go public
