Choose Your Route: Life Cycle and Stages The Ten Stages: Birth For a graphical view of the ten stages, see my chart, The Life Cycle and Stages of Congregational Development).
Birth is the first six months to two years of the public life of a congregation. The Birth stage is driven by the expression of a passionate God-given Vision concerning the life of the newly emerging congregation. Relationships, Programs, and Management activities are happening, but they are not fully developed at this stage. Leadership is expressed through vision, and assists in fueling the forward progress of the congregation. The Birth stage is discussed further in my article, The Birth of a Congregation.
