Multisite Structure & People Problems - Episode 396

The Unstuck Church Podcast with Amy Anderson

If you’ve ever tried to launch a second campus, you know the struggle is real. Turns out, most churches get their staffing and structure wrong from day one, but we’re here to save you from those painful missteps.

In this episode, Amy and Sean dive into the math behind multisite staffing (hint: your ratios probably need to change), why rushing to build a massive central team is a recipe for disaster, and how to avoid turning your campus pastor into a lonely island. We’ll also tackle the ever-present challenge of who actually gets to make decisions in this whole multisite dance.

Whether you’re thinking about going multisite or feeling “multi-stuck” right now, we discuss practical guidance you may need to build a structure that actually works.
