CFTROU 0165: The Power Of The Neighborhood Church: Multi-site Neighborhood Churches with Jim Tomberlin 

How do you start a church? You start a small group. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed the series of conversations around the neighborhood church, and our guest on this episode, Pastor Jim Tomberlin, is not only a subject matter expert but an expert in multi-site church and church leadership. Jim helps churches get “unstuck” and multiply through multi-site, merger, and succession coaching. Join in on today’s discussion as we talk about the multi-site neighborhood church, why churches have struggled to engage their neighborhoods, and how you can shift your focus to reengage your neighbors. He also shares some examples of what churches are currently implementing to positively impact their surrounding neighborhoods. To hear more about how you can work towards engaging your neighbors and reaching communities, tune in now! 

Key Points:

I think the multi-site church is a local community strategy.

The big miss that we've made so much in our generation is that we’ve made church all about a building.
