Description: "The multisite church model has been consistently challenged, deeming it unbiblical and incompatible with God's design for the local church, but does Scripture support this claim? The multisite church movement pushes against these assumptions. In Multisite Churches, pastor and church vitalist Dustin Slaton posits that congregational polity is compatible with the multisite model, dismantling critiques of the model with both urgency and care for the local church's future. At a time when church fostering and church adoption is predicted to increase significantly, the multisite church model is a solution that can support the adoption of churches" -- back cover.
