Within the past couple of weeks, our church leadership has been presented with the opportunity/challenge of going multi-site…really fast. No…like…really fast. A local church in the Orlando area has voted to become a satellite campus of Faith Assembly starting 2012. In the next few weeks, I will be sharing more of what our thought process and strategy is from a worship ministry, and how that process will need to remain fluid as we adapt to what works and discover what does not.
Things we know:
- There is alot we don’t know…I am the first to admit that I am on a new journey and am being stretched in new areas. There are mistakes that I will make and learn from and also decisions that I will be thankful I made.
- We will start this journey approximately one month from today. On January 8, 2012, we will begin leading worship with our team at the new campus.
- We will have live worship (rhythm section & vocalists) at our new campus made up of people from our current team.
- We are actively recruiting new members to be involved at both our current location, as well as, our new campus.
- Not long after we begin our second campus, we will be relocating our main campus 6 miles south of where we are currently at (If you thrive on change, now is a great time to be involved in Orlando Faith Music and Faith Assembly | Orlando).
I will be blogging through some of this process and how certain decisions are being made. I welcome your comments and would love to hear how your church is handling worship in a multi-site model.
Upcoming Topics will include:
- Recruiting for growth
- Auditioning process for Praise Team and Band
- Scheduling and rotating of singers/players
- Cultivating Culture
