There are different types of church planters and different approaches to the way people go about planting churches. In many parts of the world the pastoral church planter is the most familiar and common variety of church planter.  There is also the catalytic church planter who focuses his energy on equipping, motivating and releasing workers for church multiplication.   In this section of the lecture "Church Planter" Craig Ott:

- talks about the pastoral church planter who plants a church and pastors the church until it is able to call and pay a national pastor; 

- talks about the catalytic church planter who plants a church and remains in a large central church which becomes  the mother for numerous daughter churches; 

- explains strengths and weaknesses of both types of church planters.
