Book Review: The Multi-Site Church Revolution

I just finished reading "The Multi-Site Church Revolution" by Geoff Surratt, Greg Ligon, and Warren Bird. I really enjoyed it. I think what I enjoyed the most was that the book fired me up to go multi-site.

In a city like Miami, the idea of buying a huge piece of property and building a big building isn't really reality. Plus, the traffic isolates sections of the city, so I think this is a vision of the future for us. How and when I have no idea.

But I will say this, when I decide to go multi-site, I will read this book again because this book gives a person the step-by-step process to getting a 2nd 3rd, or 20th site going. Also, I loved how the book emphasized what type of staff and leadership is needed to get another site going.

Lastly, I enjoyed how they interviewed churches that are approaching multi-site ministry is completely different ways. This is not a cookie cutter approach at all. Instead, it's more of a variety pack showing the many ways to expand a growing ministry that desires to reach more people for Jesus.

I've a few articles about the whole multi site thing and I like it. It's not for everybody but it's without a doubt, outside of the box.

I like the multi-site idea as long as video-taped teachings aren't being used as a lazy shortcut to raising up new leaders and teachers...

Hey Bob,

Thanks for the review. Hopefully the book will be a help when you bust out your next sight in Miami. I know Christ Fellowship in Palm Beach Gardens and Calvary Chapel Ft. Lauderdale are already multi-site, so South Fl. is ready.
