Came across this USA Today article on multi-site churches. Found it interesting and thought I’d pass it along. Here’s an excerpt:

Meanwhile, others take over the one-to-one side of ministry — counseling, ceremonies and small-group guidance.
Among U.S. Protestant megachurches, 37% reported having two or more locations under the same leadership in 2008, according to a study by the Leadership Network and Hartford Institute for Religion Research in Hartford, Conn.
