Tim Keller on His (Different Kind of) Multi-Site Church

Tim Keller recently wrote this article, offering the distinctive motives and methods in his church's multi-site model. I love his focus on wanting people to have a church in their own area, and his strategic plan to eventually have single pastors over each of these sites. You can read the whole thing here.

Here's the introduction:

Recently Redeemer was featured prominently in a USA Today article about multi-site churches. Outside of the fact that Redeemer doesn't 'do video,' the differences between our approach and others were not referred to. And in much discussion on line after the article, it was clear that all multi-site churches were being Lumped Together. Just for the sake of clarity, it might be helpful to know these facts about why and how Redeemer does the multi-site.
