Multi-site Churches and Central Support Teams
I recently spent some time with Kevin Penry from LifeChurch.tv where he was serving as a coach/consultant for eight multi-site churches participating in Leadership Network’s Multi-site JumpStart InnovationLab. During one of the breaks I asked Kevin to tell me about the greatest challenge for him as the multi-site ministry at LifeChurch.tv had grown over the last several years. In this video, he shares how he and the central team stay engaged “on-the-ground” as they serve campuses literally around the world.
If your church has launched your first multi-site campus in the last six to eight months, you may be intereInnovation-Lab-logo_LOWsted in applying to be a part of the next Multi-site JumpStart InnovationLab. Applications can be requested from julia.burk@leadnet.org or downloaded at Multi-site JumpStart InnovationLab.

Releasing for Reproduction Followup
I recently posted a video interview with Dave Ferguson regarding what they have done to ‘”get unstuck” in releasing campuses to add campuses. I am reposting the video here.
If you are interested in receiving a copy of the “one page document” he references in the video, shoot me an email at greg.ligon@leadnet.org.

Multi-Site Church Blogger’s Tour
A little over a year ago, Warren Bird, Geoff Surratt and I took a “road tcover-thumbrip” as we connected with 15 plus of the leading innovative churches in the multi-site movement. At each stop we learned about one of the latest innovations in the way multi-site that is being executed in the United States and literally around the world. We reported on our exploration in our book A Multi-site Church Road Trip.
On December 15, we will be taking a different kind of tour – a tour of 15 or more blogs where we will answer the questions of the following bloggers:

Releasing for Reproduction
6a00d83451e1f069e200e550096f0d8834-150wi I recently spent a little time with Dave Ferguson from Community Christian Church in Naperville. If you know Dave and you know Community Christian, you know that they are all about reproduction – leaders, artists, campuses, church plants and networks. At a recent planning session, they realized that with reference to reproducing campuses, they were stuck. Check out this video to hear how they got unstuck and the amazing results.

Multi-site Innovation Lab – 2 spots left!
clip_image002Leadership Network offers a new experience – the Innovation Lab
Is your church looking for the chance to explore new ideas and discover a new path? Do you sometimes feel caught between ideas and action? You’re not alone. That’s why Leadership Network has developed The Innovation Lab, a unique environment designed to help you overcome the common obstacles to innovative thinking and problem solving in developing a ministry area.
JumpStart Innovation Labs are designed to give you a quick start in a ministry area, based on the proven results of others. We are launching the two new multi-site jumpstart labs described below in 2010. We have one spot available for each lab. If you are interested or know of someone that might be, give me a shout today at greg.ligon@leadnet.org.
Multi-Site Multipliers – Churches have already launched one or more campuses/venues and have a vision to accelerate the launch on multiple campuses.
First meeting is January 19-20, 2010 in Dallas and two online meetings from your office on July 13, 2010 and January 18, 2011.
Multi-Site Runway – Churches with a plan in place for a new campus and a launch date sometime between now and early 2010.
First meeting is March 23-24, 2010 in Dallas and two online meetings from your office on October 21, 2010 and April 21, 2011.
For more information on the Innovation Lab process and an application, go to http://innovationlab.leadnet.org.
At the same website, you can find information about six other innovation lab topics we will be tackling in 2010.
