by NewChurches.com: In Episode 528 of the NewChurches Q&A Podcast, Daniel and Todd discuss the dilemma that many multisite churches are facing.

“There seems to be a common question between my multisite friends. We have two locations and they are both meeting at schools and because of COVID we have shrunk back to one location and we are doing small outside services. Likewise, even some of the very large multisite churches are closing locations and collapsing them back to their sending campus. Do you think that this is permanent given renting from schools will likely change, and, if so, what can we do to build momentum when conventional growth metrics are free-falling? FYI, we do online and get pretty solid engagement and reach, It’s been great to reach this new audience, but how do we make sure that we don’t leave our established people behind. Thanks for the steady hand in difficult times.”

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

What challenges churches that rent their meeting space are facing
How churches can continue to connect with established members
