CHURCH PLANTING PHASES AND ACTIVITY LIST
This resource actually has 2 parts. Be sure and download both the PHASES and the INTRODUCTION. Some people will read this and immediately claim it is a checklist and that churches aren’t planted by checklists. I agree that churches probably shouldn’t be planted by a checklist… there are too many variables involved. However… even though this resource will appear to be a checklist… the authors plead that it not be used as such. It is designed by people with years of experience with the goal of helping church planters identify progress and plan the next phase of ministry. Of course… for those of us who like checklists (that would probably be most of us in the KISS program!)… we’ll appreciate the format and call it what it is… a checklist.

The Phases are a broad description of the process of planting churches in a pioneer (unreached people group) context. They can be a guide in planting one such church, though the emphasis is on planting multiple churches and reproducing churches. They outline the general stages church planting teams go through to win people to Christ, gather them together as His Body in that locale, and develop them into a functioning, biblical ekklesia or church, leaving them both with indigenous leaders and a vision for spreading the gospel and reproducing daughter churches. These phases identify key milestones along the way. While these things might apply anywhere—even in the West—the intent is that it be a tool for “where Christ is not named”. This generally means there is an ignorance of the gospel, misconceptions about Christ, special difficulties for the church-planters, hostility toward the message, and special persecution for believers who determine to follow Christ.
