The Catalyst Initiative is a year-long process of improving vitality through discovering where God is calling your congregation to partner with its community to meet a real need.
Who doesn’t want to change the world? Who doesn’t want to have a transformative impact on our communities? It all begins by understanding what is vitality. Unfortunately, we have bought into how our culture defines it; by the number of people we attract to our buildings and the number of offerings we collect. But what if we look to Jesus as our example of vitality? He went to where the people were and didn't wait for them to come to him.

With this as our focus, we will begin our journey toward vitality.
Vitality is about living life to the fullest (John 10:10). A vital church makes a definable and notable difference in the lives of those in their community. What mark are we making as Christ-followers so that all might live life to the fullest?
To help you get from your current reality to God’s place of vitality, we have designed 2 Congregational Pathways. While each of them is different, each has a similar goal; to help you discern and implement your next faithful step. This type of work is messy, complicated, and challenging for those who want a quick fix.
Those who participated in Catalyst:
- Saw an increase number of people in relationship with.
- Explored where God’s calling them now and in the future instead of relying on their past understanding.
- Learned how to work well as a team.
- Tested a new ministry idea that gives them a process for doing more of the same.
- Left with better measures of vitality.
- Increased momentum, hope, and tools that will help them continue to do more into the future.
Rather than a quick fix, you are invited to join us on a journey toward the vitality God is offering you, your congregation and your local community.
