Multisite ministry with Pastor Michael Zarling

Church mergers and multisite ministry is not as doom and gloom as somethink.   Can two churches merge and thrive? What should congregations consider as they think about church mergers?  What is the difference between multi-site ministry and a bi-parish ministry?  Types of mergers?  When should congregations decide NOT to merge?  All questions we ask and more, as we interview a fellow podcaster, Michael Zarling, pastor of a multi-site ministry in Racine Wisconsin called Water of life (www.wateroflifelutheran.com).  His podcast "Thirsty" airs on the Raised with Jesus podcast.
