Catalyst is a community of 20-somethings who desire to get to know Jesus better. We are marrieds and un-marrieds that have realized something radical: There can be no maturity or wholeness in the Christian life apart from an immersion in and embrace of community. We desire to be such a community.

We also want to have some fun along the way. Life can be hard but it doesn't need to be dreary. Come have fun with us and meet Jesus on the way.

Too Much Jesus?

If you meet Jesus, everything changes. I met with a young man a few weeks ago and he said something that startled me. Speaking about Catalyst he said, "It sure does have a lot of Jesus in it and that kind of scares me." It excites me. I know for this young man that He is meeting Jesus in a new way; his life is about to change.

I promise you something, if you meet Jesus everything changes. This is our goal this summer, stealing words from Dallas Willard, "we want to get Jesus a fresh hearing." We want to be relevant, inviting and do our best to make church make sense to a new generation. But more than that, we want to show as many people as we can Jesus.

If you meet Jesus, everything will change. This "new hearing" isn't just for outsiders and seekers, it is also for those that follow him. I don't know about you, but I need something more if I am going to make it. I need the real, breathing, resurrected Jesus.

It is our hope this summer that hundreds of insiders and outsiders, disciples and seekers will meet Jesus. If they do, they will never be the same.
