Choices Within the Journey What is the essence of this choice? Choose to become a congregation that worships in multiple locations. Develop worshiping communities at various sites within a reasonable travel distance of a main campus in an attempt to reach various communities of people or target groups. Often the activities offered at each site will differ according to the needs of the community or target group, and the capacity of the primary congregation to provide leadership. This model is primarily where a base congregation sponsors satellite worshiping communities or congregations, but maintains an organic, collegial, or partnership relationship with the various locations. At the same time variations exist. Some multiple sties are within the same geographic community, and are simply developed out of the necessity of having a place to do different types of worship, discipleship, and fellowship that cannot be accommodated within the primary facilities. Other sites are strategically located around a metropolitan area to reach same or similar target groups of people who are attracted to the style of worship, discipleship, and fellowship characteristic of the primary congregation.
