SEND Geoff Surratt



Geoff is a multisite guru that has been a part of Seacoast Church, Saddleback and has written extensively on the topic.  Below are some thoughts from SEND 2013.


Four crucial questions to ask before going MultiSite:

1) How healthy is your church?
  •   Is it growing?
  •  Are people finding their way back to God? (asking if people found Christ at 101)
  • Are new disciples being made? (S.P.R.E.A.D.) Activity based tracking (surveys)
      2) What is the driving reason for going multisite?
  • Three Drivers - Rapid Growth, Underserved Community, Visionary leader 
3) Are key leaders onboard?
  • Multisite will NOT thrive as an aside to the church
  • Jesus didn't get everyone on board, you can't get everyone on board 
  • People don't know what they don't know (Sears- garage door openers, Apple iPod) 
4)  What Should you reproduce?

  • What do you value?
  • What are you uniquely good at?
  • Of the things you are good at, what is reproducible?
  • What do you do that you shouldn't reproduce?
