     What churches did the apostle Paul plant?  And approximately when were they planted?

Sincerely,
Church Farmer

Dear Church Farmer,

Here is a rough timeline for when the apostle Paul started various congregations (all dates are approximate):

1. Various congregations in Cyprus – 48 AD (Acts 13:5-12)
2. Churches in the cities of Antioch Pisidia, Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe – 48 AD (Acts 13:14 – Acts 14:24)
3. Philippi – 51 AD (Acts 16:12-40)
4. Thessalonica – 51 AD (Acts 17:1-10)
5. Berea – 51 AD (Acts 17:10-14)
6. Corinth – 51-53 AD (Acts 18:1-17)
7. Ephesus – 53 AD (Acts 18:19-20)

Paul may very well have started other congregations, but those are the ones we can specifically attribute to Paul’s labors.
