Why Multi-site?

As we begin a new chapter in the life of Trinity Church it is important that we have clarity in our direction as a church family. We have begun a journey that will transform our church from meeting together in one location to meeting together in many locations throughout the rural region in which we live.

One of the most important things that leaders do is ask questions. As a leadership team, it is really important that we not only ask questions but that we ask the right questions.

The question we used to ask as leaders was, “How many people can we reach from here?” As a leadership team we believe we needed to add one letter to that question that ends up changing the answer radically. The question that we are asking now, as a church leadership team is, “How many people can we reach from there?” This question switches the focus from us to those who are far from God. This question is about going to where people are instead of expecting them to come to us.

Communities of people in need of life-giving churches surround us. So what if we switch from expecting people to come to us to going to them? The goal is to be the church in the communities in which we live not to have people come to a church building.

The vision is that we would be in more locations, so that God can use us to make more disciples, seeing an area transformed by God’s presence. The reason? For God’s glory, that there would be more people transformed by Jesus Christ for God’s glory.
