Question 1

Where will the new locations be?

Accepted Answer

New locations will most likely be in rented facilities somewhere between 10-20 minutes away from the Blaine location. The East Bethel location will open Spring 2027.

Question 2

When will the next locations open?

Accepted Answer

The East Bethel location will open in Spring 2027.

Question 3

Will new locations still feel like the Renovation Church I know?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Each new location will have the same culture and ministry programs that make Renovation Church great. They will teach through the Bible (verse-by-verse), share the gospel weekly, disciple new believers 1-on-1, and have House Churches. Renovation Church’s core beliefs, values, and culture will be maintained at all Renovation Church locations!

Question 4

How will each new location be different?

Accepted Answer

Each new location will have its own Location Pastor who will lead, shepherd, and teach. Generally speaking, all locations will teach through the same texts at the same time. However, they will have some autonomy in how to best reach their local community (worship style, outreach events, how they run their youth ministry, etc.).

Question 5

Why don’t we just plant another autonomous church instead?

Accepted Answer

A church planting team is typically about 80-100 people. When we send people to autonomous church plants, a planting pastor generally doesn’t want more than 30-40 people from any single church. Any more than that and those people just tend to want another “Renovation Church” rather than a new church with a new vision. This can present significant challenges to the church plant’s community, especially for those on the team who are not a part of that majority group. However, if we start another Renovation Church, this creates an opportunity for hundreds of people from the Blaine location to join the new location, which is a win for both locations.

Question 6

Why doesn’t Pastor David just preach at another location in addition to Blaine?

Accepted Answer

While running four services already in Blaine, there simply is not time to send him to another location as well. This would become particularly challenging, too, as additional locations are added.

Question 7

Why don’t we do the video venue method?

Accepted Answer

Renovation Church is an in-person church. We value in-person leadership and pastoral connection above broadcasting Pastor David’s preaching on a Sunday morning. We also want to prioritize contextual leadership for each location and fight against the consumeristic mentality that video venue sites often produce.

Question 8

Why don’t we just build a bigger church building?

Accepted Answer

It’s not that this couldn’t happen someday, but we’ve already invested millions of dollars into this building, and we JUST built it! We also believe that God can do even more through us if we focus our efforts on reaching more of the Metro, and not just Blaine.

Question 9

How will the new locations be connected to the Blaine location in terms of leadership, finances, and structure?

Accepted Answer

We are one united church, no matter how many locations we have. All locations will be under the same board, constitution, and financial structure, and the Location Pastor of that site will report to Pastor David. However, to the attenders of that church it will FEEL much like a new church plant for that city!
