Multisite started out as a radical idea in the 1990's. Then it became the cool idea among large, cutting-edge churches at the turn of the century. Today it is the new normal for healthy, growing churches of all kinds and sizes. https://t.co/puP1FKwR9p

@warrenbird See you at @Exponential next week?

“I think the kingdom of God and the local community is always better when churches partner instead of building their own silos,” And so it was a conversation about “What can we do together?” #churchesbettertogether

This weekend, you may be looking for something to have on in the background of activities. Consider “Why Multisite Is Back and Booming”! This was one of the best discussions I have had in a while.

Multisite & church planting are both powerful tools, but what truly matters is that congregations are reaching unchurched people & making disciples who make more disciples. Combining these strategies leads to "church multiplication on steroids." https://t.co/dfHC02890L

When a historic dying mono-culture (white church) in downtown Seattle + thriving multi-ethnic church + Kingdom-minded denominational district superintendent come together = everybody wins! #churchmerger #churchesbettertogether

Church members initially voted against the merger, but after further discussion, they passed another vote with “nearly 90 per cent” approval. While the process of merging took time, the opportunities created by the partnership are “exponential.” https://t.co/Fxc19OVJOd

“15,000 churches could close this year amid religious shift in U.S.” But many could experience rebirth or revitalization through a merger with a vibrant church. #churchesbettertogether https://t.co/EtW3ekGJar

Over-communicating to both churches is a key factor in #churchmerger success. Love how @RinggoldChurch does this with its "Merger Minute - 2 Counties, One church." https://t.co/oyBACqIBNe via @YouTube
