Mars Hill Church, Sydney

There's been some buzz in the blogosphere lately about Mars Hill Church's plans to expand to 100 campuses, all over the world. Each campus would have a local pastor, but most of the teaching would be delivered by Driscoll via a video screen. I'm certain that Sydney is one of the cities Mars Hill have in mind.

Like most commentators, I feel a bit uneasy about this scheme. It does feel a bit ego centric. On the other hand, I am very curious to see how Mars Hill go about local mission in Sydney. If they have some success, we may have something to learn from them. If they just sit there and soak up transfer growth and don't convert anyone, well the whole thing will be a waste of time.
