Five Models for Multi-Site Churches

Video-Venue

Model

Creating one or more on-campus environments that use video-cast sermons (live or recorded), often varying the worship style

Regional-Campus

Model

Replicating the experience of the original campus at additional campuses in order to make church more accessible to other geographic communities.

Teaching-Team Model

Leveraging a strong teaching team across multiple locations at the original campus or an off-site campus.

Partnership Model

Partnering with a local business or nonprofit organization to use its facility beyond a mere “renter” arrangement.

Low-Risk Model

Experimenting with new locations that have a low level of risk because of the simplicity of programming and low financial investment involved but that have the potential for high returns in terms of evangelism and growth.
