Multisite churches — also known as franchises — are now a staple of American life
Readthrough summary
Multisite churches, where congregants often watch a sermon beamed in from another location, have become a fixture of American religious life, Religion News Service reports.
The movement began with a handful of large churches in the 1990s. A new report from evangelical leadership group The Ascent Leader estimates 1,800 churches now use the model, with about 6,000 campuses and at least 5 million attendees.
Asked at an online event Oct. 21 where they are, lead researcher Warren Bird answered: "Everywhere but Wyoming."
