The Value of Video Venue Preaching: What are the Pros and Cons?

With the explosion of multi-site churches, the implementation of video venue preaching is not a surprising development. Though estimates vary, there are likely around 10,000 multi-site churches in the United States. Millions of people attend them weekly. Over half of multi-site churches have video venues. Some of the most popular pastors in the nation utilize video venues to broadcast their preaching.

What is a video venue? These venues come in many forms, but they all have one thing in common: A screen projecting the preaching or teaching pastor. The screen may or may not be a live feed. The venue may be its own campus or a location on the main campus (like a coffee shop). Most video venues have live worship, but the styles can vary.

Strong opinions exist about video venues. Some issue the blanket accusation of “McChurch.” While I get the sentiment, such criticism is too harsh.
