Making Multisite Mergers Work: New Options for Being One Church in Two or More Locations
There are an estimated 3,000 multisite churches in the United States and recently Leadership Network invited many of them to be part of the nation’s largest and most comprehensive survey of multisite churches. The idea was to gain further insight into the phenomenon and to discover how churches are making it work. *This report includes many useful tables and illustrations.
According to the survey, there are definite connections between multisite strategy and merger success. For example, when asked how successful they’d rate their merger experience, churches that became or stayed multisite had a higher average success score than those churches that had consolidated into one location after their merger. This trend held across church sizes and distance apart, and somewhat for how long ago the merger occurred.
