The mission statement of Catalyst is simple: pursuing God, loving people and serving others. There's a strategy to it.
Pursuing God
The weekend experience is a safe place for people to hear about God. Whether you're brand new to this church stuff or a seasoned veteran, there's something for you. The weekend service at Catalyst is where we learn about how God pursues us. It's also where we learn how we can pursue him back.
Loving people
We're about doing life together. This is one of the ways we pursue God. The church is not a bunch of individuals. It's a group. A team. We can love people in a lot of different ways. We can hang out with them, pray for them, even let them borrow our DVDs. We take the time to get to know people through things like small groups and community groups.
Serving others
The result of loving people in our pursuit of God is serving them. The church is literally the hands and feet of God. It's not always easy to serve somebody, but it is always worth it. This is where they see the heart of God in action. Catalyst is about getting outside our comfort zone, outside the doors of the church, and showing people that God cares about them. And we do too.
