Geoff Surratt, Greg Ligon, & Warren Bird. The Multi-Site Church Revolution: Being One Church in Many Locations. Zondervan, 2006. 224 pp.

This book captures the story of a widespread movement of churches that are expanding their ministries to include multiple formats, venues, and locations, using dozens of in-the-trenches examples, identifying the primary reasons churches succeed as well as how they overcome common snags on the route to “one church–many congregations.”

Fueled by a desire to reach people for Christ, a revolution is underway. Churches are growing beyond the limitations of a single service in one building. Expanding the traditional model, they are embracing the concept of one church with more than one site: multiple congregations sharing a common vision, budget, leadership, and board. Drawing from the examples of churches nationwide, The Multi-Site Church Revolution shows what healthy multi-site churches look like and what motivates congregations to make the change. Discover how your church can:

cast a vision for change
ensure a successful DNA transfer (vision and core values) to its new site
develop new leaders
fund new sites
adapt to structure and staffing change
use technology to support your worship services

You’ll identify the reasons churches succeed and how they overcome common snags. The Multi-Site Church Revolution offers guidance, insights, and specific action steps as well as appendixes with practical leadership resources and self-diagnostic tools.
