Until recently, my experience with multi-site churches has been somewhat limited.  I had attended multi-site venues such as Fellowship Church (Ed Young) and Northpoint (Andy Stanley).  For several years, I had envisioned that we would add campuses at some point at Fellowship of the Parks (FOTP).  However, that became sooner than later as I discovered more about them from Drew Sherman at Highland Meadows Church in Colleyville (I have a lot of respect for Drew - he is a very gracious person and has been extremely helpful).  Inspired by Drew, and after conversations with Charles Thornton (Teaching Pastor at FOTP), we concluded that Grapevine would be the best place to attempt a new location.  Charles has deep connections in the community and regularly speaks in secular environments.  The new location will be approximately 14 miles away from our Keller campus so it will be more difficult to send large groups of people.  However, I believe with Charles as the Campus Pastor & primary Teaching Pastor at that location, this first site will be largely successful.  I will try not to do too much damage as I will be speaking there once a month.  For more information on the Grapevine Campus: go to www.fellowshipoftheparks.com and click on "Grapevine Campus" or http://www.fotpfamily.com/content.aspx?page=52&pt=1&ls=0&ct=0 

The definitive book on Multi-Sites is The Multi-Site Church Revolution, by Surratt, Ligon, & Bird.  This book is published by leadership network is a survey of what multi-site churches are actually doing.  This book becomes a nuts & bolts guide to help pastors glean insights and plan additional campuses.  The book is well written and well researched.  

Additionally, Leadership Network has put together a series of conferences – Multi-Sites Exposed (http://www.multisitechurchrevolution.com/).  I attended the one in Seattle April 14/15.  The conference was great and very informative.  For me personally, Mark Driscoll helped me the most.  He basically gave a biblical apologetic for the use of multi-sites and even video multi-sites.  He shed tremendous light on something that I believe to be often misunderstood.  God has used a message by Mark Driscoll in my life on several occasions and I am very grateful for his insight.  In addition - the guy makes me laugh with his pithy comments.  You can view the conference session here: http://www.theresurgence.com/multi-site_exposed
