I had a chance to hang out today with John Bishop, Senior Pastor of Living Hope Church in Vancouver Washington. You may remember that these are the insane guys who opened five campuses on Easter. John is an incredible young leader. Living Hope started 10 years ago with 10 people in John's living room. Over the first seven years they grew to about 400 people (a pretty incredible feat, especially in one of the most unchurched regions of the country). Over the past three years they've grown from 400 to about 4000 on a weekend. John expressed a sentiment I've heard from a lot of young leaders, "I've never even attended a church this large and now I'm pastoring one."
Living Hope uses video teaching at all of their offsite campuses. Right now they are weighing the pros and cons of going live with video or possibly going week behind. I'd love to hear what your opinion is on the good, the bad and the ugly of live, same weekend and week behind. What do you think?
