I initially had the same response as you, that pragmatics seem to be driving the ship with multi-campus. While that may be true for some churches, I have been impressed that others have taken a thorough approach to the matter, studying Scripture extensively.

Bethlehem Baptist, Sojourn and Mars Hill (Seattle) come to mind as those who are being careful to be biblically faithful. I still don’t like multi-campus and at this point would not serve on a multi-campus church staff. I would also push for no multi-service. But I do think the churches I mentioned believe there is freedom in the area of multi-campus and think such an approach is the wisest thing they can do.

I think it is unfortunate that each respondent was given so little space to state their opinion. I agree that this is not a trivial concern and one that deserves should substantive, Biblical, reflection.

I’m not a fan of multi-site campuses, but I’m not a fan of mega-churches either, so I don’t know if I’m unbiased or not. Either way, I’m just not sure we’re going to see a lot of Biblical evidence for any of our current methods.
