In 2007, a small number of pastors and Christian friends came together to explore how to reach out to people searching for God outside of formal church experiences.
Together, they envisioned an informal, grassroots network of people experiencing relationship with God, others, and the world in simple, yet transforming, ways:
Simple Church: Loving God & Loving Others
Meeting in various locations and times.
Exploring unique approaches to God that cultivate relationships.
Demonstrating God’s love in ways that draw new people into His Family.
From the humble beginnings of a dozen people in a living room, Catalyst was born.
These dynamic groups meet in homes, workplaces, and coffee shops (to name a few), and range in size from 2 to 20.
Our dedication to the love and truth of Jesus Christ links us with His followers all over the world; His one global family of believers: The Church.
Catalyst was founded in January, 2007, by Shawn & Marina Mitchell. Following 13-years of full-time pastoral ministry in large, conventional churches, Shawn & Marina embarked on a completely different ministry journey - To rediscover the simple roots of Christian faith & lifestyle characterized by the church of the first century Christians. The goal was, and still is, to reach people with the love & truth of Christ who are interested in God, but disillusioned with 'big church.'
