LILR 171 | Multisite Revealed with Warren Bird

If you think multisite is only for megachurches, or that the best campus pastor is the one who stays forever, Dr. Warren Bird has some data that might surprise you. After a year-long research project with more than 1,000 church leaders, Warren joins Sean Morgan to unpack what’s actually happening in the multisite church today. They cover the number of multisite churches in the U.S., why one in three new campuses now comes through a merger, and why hiring a campus pastor from outside your church might be a better move than you’ve assumed. They also get into what a campus launch really costs, how the live-versus-video debate looks in the data, and why churches that plan to multiply are the ones that reach self-sustainability faster. If you’re curious about where the church is headed, this conversation is full of insight you can use right away. Welcome to Episode 171 of the Leaders in Living Rooms Podcast with Sean Morgan.
