What are the typical phases a new church will go through and the process a church planter has to be aware of? There are certain things that need to be done at different points along the road of planting the church. And there are different ways to look at this process with its potential pitfalls and problems. In this section of the lecture "Development Phases of Church Planting" Craig Ott:

- shares D. Hesselgrave's "Pauline Cycle",  a framework based on the church-planting ministry of apostle Paul as described in the Book of Acts; 

- talks about R. Logan's Church Planting Life-Cycle based on the analogy of a biological life cycle from conception to reproduction; 

- explains how Developmental Phases of Pioneer Missionary Church Planting is different from the other cycles.
