Apostolic church planters have the goal of equipping local believers to lead the church and to become the next generation of church planters. The role of the apostolic church planter must intentionally evolve during the process, moving from the pioneering phase to the establishing, strengthening and reproducing phases of the church plant. In this section of the lecture "Church Planter" Craig Ott suggests a "6-M" approach to the changing role of the apostolic church planter, progressing from motor to model, mobilizer, mentor, multiplier and, finally, memory. While many church planters agree with this approach in principle, difficulties arise when local believers seem to lag in their willingness or ability to bear the responsibility of ministry.
