Multi-site Church Road Trip

Accounting Made Simple?

At a recent Leadership Network multi-site leadership community, Tim Goetz from The Well Community Church announced the completion of a new accounting software developed by he and a team of folks from the Sacramento area.  Here is what caught my eye - “We wrote it around the fact that most nonprofits and most churches have their accounting done by a volunteer or someone without an accounting degree.  We really simplified accounting (one of the beta testers 7 year old was able to use it), and time saving features so that volunteers can spend less time on the books and feel confident that they are doing the books right.”  Take a minute to check it out at www.aplossoftware.com

Connect with other Multi-site Leaders via new social network

This is an exciting week for multi-site church leaders everywhere, as a new social network launched specifically for leading multi-site churches! Mac Lake, Development Pastor at Seacoast Church, announced it on his blog earlier this week::

With the expansion of multi-site there is a growing need for leadership development.  Many of these multi-site churches are growing so quickly that it makes developing leaders a challenge.  I was talking with another multi-site church recently and said, “You know what we need? We need a fraternity for Campus Pastors and Multi-site leaders where they can learn from one another and share best practices, a leadership development site for Multi-site leaders”  And with that an idea was born.  Today I want to introduce you to Leading Multisite social Networking Community.

If you are a Senior Pastor, a Campus Pastor or a staff person that supports the multi-site work of your church then this site is for you.  Our intent is to create a network where multi-site leaders can build friendships, ask questions, find answers, develop leaders, and identify best practices.  So stop by and check it out.   If you’re not a staff person or a multi-site leader no worries you don’t have to be a member to see the content. However, we do respectfully ask you not to join. 

Leading Multi-site also has a twitter ID at twitter.com/leadingmultisit
