Why I Chose ::Catalyst Church




Here are some of my reasons why I have chosen Catalyst Church to be the local body of believers to serve, grow, and learn with:





  1. I believe Jonathan Herron teaches a fair and balanced doctrine, which in todays time, is really hard to find.



  2. The members are just real. What you see is really what you get! It may not be the neatest or cleanest group, but it is definitely REAL. And "real" is where God can clean our messiness. Some would rather not see any messiness in the church, but if we are truly "real" aren't we all messy compared to Jesus in one way or another. I would rather see imperfections, rather than they be hid from me.



  3. Catalyst Church is a missional church. We are not inward focused on each other and our blessings from God, but we are focused on the lost just like Jesus was, who came to seek and save the lost. Jesus said we would be more blessed when we GIVE than when we RECEIVE, and when you are missional, you can't help but be blessed by it.



For me, catalyst is a place where I can serve God freely. When the vision is Jesus and Jesus only, it's hard not to have the desire to follow Christ and desire to do His will. Catalyst isn't afraid of being creative, authentic, and relevant. Scripture is the only thing held as sacred and holy, everything else is an experiment. In my experience with catalyst, I have only had a stronger desire to lift up Jesus so that God will draw people unto Himself. I Thank all members of catalyst who have worked hard to make this movement happen. It is an honor to serve with you all!
