Multi-site Mind Dump
You are going to have to deal with lists over the next couple of days because I got a lot of thoughts on my mind.
As we get ready to launch our second campus, here is what is running through my noggin right now:
- I think the multi-site model of ministry is GREAT for a church like ours that has a desire to go into smaller towns where church plants might never go.
- Tonight we find out if we get to start our build-out at our Jasper location. If we get the go ahead, we start construction tomorrow.
- Multi-site is all about branding. I am blown away by the response in Jasper from people that already know about our church.
- Campus Pastor is the KEY role in the whole thing. This person has to be a leader, but also a team player. To be a campus pastor you have to be a very unselfish person. You are leading, but you are not the primary teacher or vision caster.
- Worship is the second big role. God has blessed us so much musically that we are fine for the short-term. However, we need to bring another worship leader on staff asap. Finding that person is such a key hire. They will be under Tim’s leadership and have to fit in our with our team. Artsy, Fartsy guys need not apply.
- We will probably NOT assign a worship leader to a campus. Instead we will rotate them among all our campuses.
- Creating a buzz BEFORE you launch is EASY and IMPORTANT
- Doing a build out on a budget is stressful. I think IF possible it is best to go portable.
- I think the second one is probably the hardest and most expensive one to launch. As we launch our 3, 4, and 5th campuses, we will already have the video recording equipment so we will only need to buy equipment for that campus.
- Your mindest changes to leader reproduction quickly
- Reproducing has to become a core value in all aspects. We are saying we have to reproduce EVERY aspect of everything at every campus or we won’t do it at any campus.
- I’m excited to see us change North Georgia with the gosple of Jesus Christ!!!
