Key Preconditions for Multi-Site Success
Before launching a multi-site church, several key preconditions need to be met to ensure success. Healthy momentum is crucial; churches should ideally be growing faster than their surrounding communities to avoid replicating stagnation. Furthermore, having a clear mission and vision is essential to keep the focus on community reach rather than convenience. Lastly, a healthy volunteer core is needed, typically suggesting that about 10% of the church's size should help establish the new location, which is crucial for sustainable growth.
