Catalyst Youth Ministry
Every youth wants to know the real. But more importantly, youth should want to be the real. We live in a world that pushes itself into the lives of individuals, blinding them of what life is really all about. When you are a catalyst, you are affecting change around you and in your world, without allowing yourself to be changed.
Youth in grades 7-12 meet downstairs in the arcade each Wednesday, 6:00-6:45 p.m. for pre-service food and fellowship. They attend the midweek service in the Main Sanctuary at 7:00 p.m. Pastor is currently teaching from Proverbs, and the wisdom and instruction from the Word is invaluable to these young adults! Catalyst schedules other activities and events throughout the year, including outreach projects.
Catalyst Mission Statement
Catalyst Youth Ministry exists to connect young people to God, whereby they might know who they are in Christ, so that they can affect this world for our Lord and Savior, while leaving an example for future generations to follow.
