Initial Findings: Multi-Site & Multi-Venue

Okay, so after one week of being both a multi-site, multi-venue church, here's what we've learned:

• Whenever you free up seats, you create growth potential ... and God is then able and more than willing to bring the growth.


• The people of Rock Bridge get the vision of Rock Bridge.


• Video is NOT an issue provided there is a good environment: hospitality, technology, and worship.


• Change (to borrow a buzz word in the '08 Election) is exciting, energizing, and engaging to people ... provided it is change in the right direction, done in the right way and at the right time.

Some interesting numbers:

• 4 out of 10 adults (42%) chose to attend either a multi-site campus or the Stage 123 video venue.


• 1 out of 3 Dalton adults (37%) attended worship at Stage 123.


• In Dalton, 1 out of 3 attenders chose the 9:30 am service (This % needs to increase!)


• The Wink Theatre (original Dalton worship space) was 34% full at 9:30 am and 57% full at 11:00 am (= we have room to grow!!).


• Overall, we had our highest total church attendance since Mother's Day.
