This past week, I asked Jeff Bell to spend some time with our communications network talking about the paradoxes of multi-site communication. Here are a few simple bullets of wisdom he shared.
- The goal is scalability, but scalability is not the same thing as duplication.
- Don’t focus on mirroring. Focus on the mission.
- Community is a shared mission, expression is not.
- Value is communicated different ways to different people.
- Our church, and the community developed around it, is not contained in one box and shipped for use in multiple locations. We’re evolving our DNA to live multi-site as a ministry, not as an export.
I love where you are going with the above MS points...but I confess, I don't understand what you are saying...how it plays out in the ministry. Is there more on this conversation?
