Multi-site Endeavor

Here are a few questions we didn't get to at our Q & A time during our family vision talk.

1. Will new campuses share the activities and services of Southgate? Yes. Whether that be youth ministry or Wednesday classes we can foresee sharing many resources especially in the early going of each new campus.
2. Will there be churches outside of Indiana? Possibly. We have not forecasted beyond 5 years at this point.
3. How will churches be financed? We will begin to raise funds this fall through October's "Generosity Challenge." We are also looking into partnerships with planting experts like the ARC that offer start up loans for new church plants that engage their training process. Ps. Dino Rizzo author of "Servolution" is on the ARC lead team.
4. In 5 years what will the church’s connectivity look like? Our goal is to develop churches in a closely connected network that share a common vision expressed through several campuses spread about South Bend. The desire is to preserve and express spiritual DNA and core values, but express the Gospel in ways unique to each campus's leadership, culture and environment.
5. Will the Westside campus be a Spanish language church? It will have Spanish 'flavor' but will not be a Spanish church. Primary (ie Sunday) gatherings will be in English but there may be secondary ministries in Spanish. Much still needs to be defined.
