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.

Bigotry

Gender, race, and sexual orientation have been touchy subjects for Christ followers for a long time. The way the church has dealt with those different than us has caused a lot of pain and heart ache. The tension is this: how do we love, accept and empower and also be authentic to God's standard that many of us see in His scripture?

This Thursday night, we discuss bigotry. We are going to talk to three Catalyst members: an African-American, a woman, and a man dealing with homosexuality. We are going to have a frank discussion about bigotry, acceptance, empowerment, a biblical world-view and how Catalyst can be a community where a wide range of people are welcomed, accepted, and empowered.

I hope you can come. Bring your friends!

Childcare will be provided.
