Multi-Site Exposed Conference

Mars Hill Church, Seattle, WA April 14-15

Here are some quotes that caught my attention in the conference. These are not comprehensive notes, just thoughts that took my fancy. 

Multi-Sites Are About Developing The Leader, Not Planting Sites

What makes multi-site work best? The campus pastor. The campus pastor is number one. He is more than a glorified MC. He must be a pastor to create authentic community in the life of that church. He is a developer: leadership ability, shepherding gift, coaching, administrator, often an excellent communicators. Teaching is not necessarily their core gift but developing the team must be. Greg Ligon, Leadership Network

We are not in the multi-business. We are in the leader deployment business.  It is all about leaders: identify, deploying, etc.  If we have a leader we will have a site. If we don't, we won't. Dave Browning, Lead Pastor Christ the King Community Church

We want to not just develop leaders, but to develop leaders who develop leaders. Dave Browning, Lead Pastor Christ the King Community Church

In finding direction ask: Is God up to something? What is the evidence for that? If God is up to something it will show up in the heart of the leader. If we find a leader, everything else will happen. Dave Browning, Lead Pastor Christ the King Community Church

The collegial relationship between our pastors is really significant because we are not independent but interdependent as leaders. Mark Driscoll, Preaching Pastor, Mars Hills Church
