Rick Warren Pastor, Saddleback Church Lake Forest, California from the book Outside the Box

"There are two things I love about the multiple video/venue approach. First, it allows multiple options in styles and times of services. Second, and more important, it allows the large church to feel smaller. The truth is, pastors are the only people who like huge services. Members put up with the large size because of the teaching, programs, and ministry opportunities offered. If they could find those things in a smaller church, no doubt they would be there, in my view. . . . We intend to grow through the multiplication of smaller venues on our campus."

John Ortberg Teaching Pastor Menlo Park Presbyterian Church Menlo Park, CA

"More churches than anyone can count wrestle with facility limitations, finite resources, and finding the right worship format. I think that the (Multi-Site) video venues being pioneered are exceedingly promising for the future of local church ministry."

Craig Groeschel Founding Pastor Lifechurch.tv Oklahoma

"Several of my staff members and I visited North Coast Church in 2001 for a weekend. Our two days with Pastor Larry and his staff proved to be valuable beyond our greatest expectations. Through the North Coast team, God opened our eyes to ministry opportunities we had never dreamed possible. Larry's integrity, gifted leadership, Kingdom heart and generosity are changing the way church is being done all across our country. Every church may not be called to do what North Coast does, but every church should be exposed to this ministry. Check it out. Your ministry may be forever changed. Ours was."

Erwin McManus Lead Pastor Mosaic Church Los Angeles, CA

"I think the Multi-Site Conference is really offering one of the freshest and most interesting approaches to continually meet the need of creating space for new people. . . . North Coast is addressing how to keep growing and how not to be monolithic, and that to me is an important conversation that's being had all over the country."

Dr. Wayne Cordeiro Senior Pastor New Hope Christian Fellowship Honolulu, Hawaii

"Trail blazing can be the result of adventuresome spirits, but the teams at this conference are pioneers because of their passion for the harvest. (Multi-Site) Video venues gives us a confidence that reignites us with innovative ideas. We've sent scouts to glean from the video venues. Now, much of our ministry's expansion has been as a direct result of these churches having navigated the terrain and passed to us maps that saved us years! (Multi-Site) Video venues is a pioneer in the next wave of evangelism for our time."

Michael Slaughter Lead Pastor Ginghamsburg Church Tipp City, Ohio

"Pioneering into the innovation of video venues has opened a new world of potential Kingdom growth. No longer bound by what mortar and brick can build, we are free to maximize ministry possibilities."

Bob Buford Founder, Leadership Network Author, Halftime and Finishing Well

"Leadership Network has been blessed with the opportunity to observe dozens of luminary church models in their inception and growth. North Coast, Community Christian, and Seacoast have risen to the forefront of the rapidly expanding Multi-Site/Multi Venue church model movement. While consistent within their multi-site expansion values, they offer three different "versions" of a system that is practical, efficient, and cost effective. There is great value in the October Multi-Site Conference at Community Christian."

Bill Easum President Easum, Bandy & Associates

"With leaders and sponsors like these how can any leader not change their schedule in order to attend. You don't want to miss this event."

Ken Dean Founder of The Dean Group.

"(Multi-Site) Video venues . . . add a fresh, innovative dimension to the concept of worship options. Instead of one or two choices, a church may have four or more, each with its own theme and environment. They may be located on the church campus or in neighboring buildings. A church may have more than one dedicated location or it may lease space in other facilities to accommodate more churchgoers. "

Dave Travis Executive Vice President Leadership Network

"Multi-Site and Multi Venue churches have become both increasingly relevant and increasingly scrutinized in today's rapidly evolving Christian church model. In the past six or seven years, there are three churches that have displayed the passion, entrepreneurial spirit, and success it takes to create and sustain this significant 'new way of doing church.'"

North Coast, Community Christian, and Seacoast churches have created the momentum, defined the parameters, and developed a unique synergy within the "Multi-Site movement." Hundreds of churches have already had their ministries significantly impacted by one or all of these three "tipping point" churches. I strongly recommend attending the Coast to Coast Multi-Site Conference if you are even thinking about the possibilities of multi-sites, multi-venues, or video technologies to expand your church's outreach."

Dr. Robert Lewis Fellowship Bible Church Little Rock, Ar.

"It is clear North Coast is on the cutting edge of "doing church" in the 21st century. People today want options with a sense of community, and the (Multi-Site) video venues that have been developed allows for both. I believe this is the beginning of a new model and a new future for the church. "

Chris Dolson Senior Pastor Blackhawk Church Madison, Wisconsin

"What started as an over flow room has turned out to be the preferred worship venue for several hundred folks, both new attenders and existing members alike. Kudos to the Multi-Site approach! We certainly could not have started our Video Cafés at Blackhawk Church without it."
