1 Church. Many Locations. Guaranteed.
Multi-site churches are here for awhile. They make sense. The failure rate’s low, the cost to set up should be low, and you can reach more people for Christ.
I continually hear Pastors say they’re “1 church, many locations”. But in actuality, it’s far from the truth.

And then, something interrupts and screams STOP! Look here. Now!
A billboard will catch my eye and I'll read its simple message. It diverts my thoughts to what it wants.
You can do the same.
People are wandering...
