We believe in fellowship, making disciples and being a community of Kingdom workers. We desire everyone around us, from all backgrounds and walks of life, to experience the amazing love of Christ.
God has blessed us all with unique talents and strengths to use for His glory. We strive to reflect the Catalyst mission to spread God’s word and love throughout the communities in which we live, work and play.
From Catalyst Communities to social events to serving opportunities, Catalyst has an abundance of opportunities to make you feel connected and growing in your faith, while furthering God’s Kingdom.
We want each person who walks through the Catalyst doors to experience life-altering spiritual growth. Whether you have never been to church before, or have been walking with Christ as long as you can remember, our goal is to meet you where you are, and help you cultivate a deeper understanding and relationship with Christ.
Our Catalyst Elders assist Pastor Josh & our pastoral team in providing for the needs of the church. In addition to overseeing and guiding the vision/mission, finances, systems, and pastoral health of Catalyst Church, they guide the leadership structure for Catalyst.
