5 THINGS ABOUT SELECTING PORTABLE VENUES

Portable church isn't a curse to endure. Stop whining and make it great.

“OMG, I can’t wait until we don’t have to setup anymore.” This is a sure sign of weak leadership setting to stage for preference-induced plateau and entitlement-enabled decline.

There are entire industries around portable venues and events (amusement parks, concerts, etc…) but the Church loves to think it’s so hard. I’ll do another post about maximizing portable venues full of helpful tips and snark but in the meantime, here are a few things

Greg Basch suggests you consider about portable venues.

Accessibility is critical. 

Is it easy to get to? Drive time matters less than the experience of getting there. For example, if it takes 15 minutes to get there but you have to turn 12 times on back roads it will seem further away than if it's 20 minutes directly off the highway.

Shoot for three turns or less off the highway. The 'average' venue in a good location is better than the 'nice' venue that requires a trek to get to.
