At his website, Jimmy Scroggins shares the third, crucial key to effective bivocational church planting, the umbrella church:

An umbrella church allows the full time pastors and staff to take the load from those who are bivocational. They handle the business side of church – insurance policies, bills, payroll, supplies, maintenance, technology, etc. This is the side of church that most people take for granted. It’s like running a really large household. By pooling people and resources in these areas, we can take advantage of economies of scale and be better stewards with God’s money while freeing up our bivocational staff to successfully run the neighborhood church. This model also frees up bivocational pastors to focus fully on people and ministry.
