Taking the City one Multi-Site at a Time
Written by Kim Hammond
It has been more than 12 years since COMMUNITY, founders of NewThing, stumbled upon the phenomenon known as multi-site.

With more than 9 million people living in Chicago, COMMUNITY is organizing their sites into networks; decentralizing themselves in a way to empower everything towards reproduction. With these organic systems in place, COMMUNITY will soon have the ability to fully reproduce at the edges. 16 sites will become 32 and 32 will become 64 and soon exponential growth will happen.

Lead Pastors often love change, but the rest of the church might not be quick to embrace that change. Is it any wonder that even though many churches want to become reproducing churches, creating and sustaining a culture of change is often a looming obstacle.

Individuals are currently gathering together with Nate’s family every Sunday for church. This group will also be a part of the church’s launch. NewThing asked Nate to give us a picture of what God is doing:
