It doesn't matter where you come from or what your past might be, this is a place of new beginnings. We are a Christ-centered community where you will be loved, encouraged, and challenged to discover not only a better life, but life itself through a relationship with Jesus Christ. We have a strong vision and passion to see those far from God filled with life in Christ. We are more than just a church building, we are an explosive, phenomenal movement of God and we would love for you to become a part of it!

OUR MISSION

“To glorify God by loving all people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.”
(Matthew 22:36-40; Matthew 28:19-20)

OUR CORE VALUES

LOVE GOD //

Gospel Centered Living

We believe that we were created to know and to love God. And the reason why people feel so unsettled and broken in life is because they have been living their life separated and a part from the very God who gives life. We believe that Jesus was and is, God in the flesh, and in great love gave his life for us - went to the Cross - took our sin, absorbed God’s righteous wrath against our sin and bridged the gap between us and the Father. New life begins when we give our sin and lives to Jesus. It begins - when we accept the gospel message of Jesus and begin to LOVE GOD with all of our heart, mind, soul and strength.

Matthew 22:37, Romans 12:1

LOVE EACH OTHER //

Gospel Centered Community

Love. That is the mark of a real follower of Jesus. We love each other. We’re friends with each other. We eat together. We’re with each other in the best of times and in the worst of times. Our members share with each other and do life together. We believe that we are not just called to believe but also to belong. You can’t be a spectator in the body of Christ, so our communities ought to be places where people know and are known!

Proverbs 27:10

LOVE OUR WORLD //

Gospel Centered Mission

At Catalyst Church, we are driven by God’s mission to bring Him glory by loving all people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. We believe that God is the original Author and Master of creativity. Therefore, we will utilize every means possible to communicate the timeless and powerful truth of God’s love for all people. We believe that the real ministry isn’t just what happens inside our weekend worship services, but what happens outside the church through our people everyday. We believe there is not one square inch of our region that Jesus doesn’t want to declare as His!

Eph. 3:10, Rom. 10:13-14

 

 

Our Beliefs

IN THE ESSENTIAL BELIEFS - WE HAVE UNITY.

There is one Body and one Spirit...there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father of us all... EPHESIANS 4:4-6

IN THE NON-ESSENTIAL BELIEFS - WE HAVE LIBERTY.

Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgement on disputable matters... Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls...So then each of us will give an account of himself to God... So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. ROMANS 14:1,4,12,22

IN ALL OUR BELIEFS - WE SHOW GOD’S LOVE.

...If I hold in my mind not only all human knowledge but also the very secrets of God, and if I have the faith that can move mountains - but have no love, I amount to nothing at all. 1 CORINTHIANS 13:2

 

Our beliefs are summarized in our three great loves:
LOVE GOD, LOVE EACH OTHER, AND LOVE OUR WORLD.
