It's been well over a year since we left our church plant campus that we committed to helping start after it closed, in my opinion, abruptly. That hurt our family immensely. My advice is to church leaders. Communicate with your church members. Understand that when a second location is opened there is an investment from the core members who agreed to move from one established location to starting another. That body of believers becomes a community, a family. A lack of communication makes them feel as if they are an afterthought. For our family, had the communication been more forthcoming we would have merged back into the main campus and continued working. But, the disconnect between campuses was apparent and the 'vision' outweighed the spiritual needs of the community. This still burdens my heart because I love my church family. I still communicate with them even though we scattered to different churches. Church leaders, your members trust your leadership. Please take that responsibility seriously. Respect them enough to communicate and prepare, especially when a major change is on the horizon.
