Choose Your Route: Life Cycle and Stages

The Ten Stages of Congregational Developoment

Here are the ten stages, beginning with "Birth" and extending through "Adulthood" and "Maturity" into "Old Age" and "Death."

Birth Infancy Childhood Adolescence Adulthood
Maturity Empty Nest Retirement Old Age Death

For a graphical view of the ten life stages, see my chart, The Life Cycle and Stages of Congregational Development.

After exploring these stages, determine your congregation's place on the life cycle and discover the most appropriate corresponding route.
