HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Catalyst Church Logo White

celebrating 15 years of loving God, loving people, and making disciples

Catalyst Church began in early 2009 with small group gatherings focused on building a Launch Team. As momentum grew, we held our first Preview Service in October of that year, followed by monthly services leading up to our official launch in February 2010.

In those early days, we met in homes for launch meetings and small groups before securing our first gathering space at Maple Ridge Elementary. After a couple of years, we moved to the Middle School, then later to a location on Highway 67 in north Pendleton. In January 2019, we found our permanent home, where we continue to grow and serve today.

The church started with a dedicated Launch Team of about eight families, eventually growing to 40 adults—enough to begin holding services. During our first year, we averaged around 70 people (adults and kids) each Sunday. Today, we welcome an average of 400 attendees each week, with approximately 550 people considering Catalyst their home church.

Thank you for being a part of the Catalyst Family!

Mosaic Ministry (Special Needs Support)

Mosaic Ministry exists to create an inclusive environment where every child can learn about the love of Christ. Our Catalyst Kids Team Members provide individualized support to meet a variety of physical, emotional, and developmental needs—ensuring each child feels safe, valued, and included. Whether that means one-on-one support in a classroom, sensory-friendly tools, or a quiet space when needed, we partner with families to help every child thrive.

3rd – 6th Grade

We provide tailored programming for all grades, designed to meet their spiritual and social needs at each stage.

  • Our 4th-6th graders can join us for “Hangouts” every Wednesday from 6-7:30 PM. It’s a great time for fellowship, teaching, games, and snacks!

Kindergarten – 2nd Grade

Our K–2 kids dive into engaging Bible lessons through storytelling, games, music, and crafts that help build a solid foundation of faith. This age group enjoys a fun, high-energy environment where they can explore God’s Word and grow in friendship with others.

Preschool (Potty Trained & Preschool Age)

In our preschool room, children enjoy a fun and engaging time with Bible stories, crafts, music, and interactive play. This space is perfect for kids who are potty trained and ready for a little more structure as they begin to grow in their faith and friendships.

Toddler (Walking to Potty Trained, up to Age 3)

Busy toddlers will feel right at home in this safe, playful environment designed for little ones who are confidently walking but not yet potty trained and under age 3. Our Catalyst Kids Team Members engage them with simple songs, Bible-based lessons, crafts, age-appropriate toys, and plenty of loving attention. Once children are both potty trained and 3 years old, they’ll transition to our Preschool Room.
