Your key questions are helpful. Here are some Q’s I recommend to anyone thinking about multi-site under the category of getting clarity. Without clarity early, we experienced a lot of vision drift and sideways movement. We learned the hard way. Some of these are just not adding much to the convo above, but that last question is huge for churches to determine.

Clearly define cultural values of the church

Clearly define the win (or whatever you call what you will celebrate as the goal for all youth ministries)

Get clarity around what is essential and non-negotiable (names/branding, events, programs, ethos of ministry…etc.)

Get clarity around what is open for contextualization (names/branding, events, programs, ethos of ministry…etc.)

Clearly define who will be responsible for overseeing campus youth minister directly and who will be responsible for helping lead in a secondary role. How do the triangle of relationships involving the campus pastor, campus youth pastor and youth ministry department team lead work?

Here are a few, Craig:

RED LIGHT: Our purpose statement and ministry paradigm, the mandate to teach lessons that have already been used at original campus, background checks and interview steps for volunteers, attendance at summer camp, etc.

YELLOW LIGHT: Determining when in the life of the new campus to start small groups, whether small groups are centralized or decentralized, how often and what the ‘feel’ of volunteer training meetings should be, parent ministry, etc.

GREEN LIGHT: How budget is allocated, types of, and how many, special events and activities to do, weekly work schedule, etc.

Hope that helps!

Great article!
