What are core values?

Core Values serve as a filter for our decision making and are the philosophy behind what we do. They define our culture and reveal how we operate.

Jesus Above All Else

Jesus is at the center of everything we do. Nothing we do matters unless it furthers the message of Jesus.

We Embrace the Uncomfortable

We will continually seize momentum by structuring for where we want to go, not where we are. We must take bold steps, abandon the reasonable, embrace the uncomfortable and watch God move.

We Are a Generation of Honor

We freely give honor to those above us, beside us and under us because of the calling and potential God has placed inside of them.

We Lead the Way in Generosity

We will be pacesetters in living generously. We believe generosity is not something God wants from us, but rather something he wants for us.

We Are United Under the Visionary

Catalyst is built on the vision that God has given Pastor Michael. We will aggressively defend our unity and his vision.

We Celebrate without Reservation

We expect marriages to be restored, addictions to be broken, and for God to do the unexplainable. When no one else expects it to happen, we do. We will constantly seek ways to celebrate when the unexpected takes place.

Lost People Matter Greatly To Us

We will not cater to personal preference in our mission to reach this city. We are more focused on those we are trying to reach than those we are trying to keep.

Consumerism Isn't An Option

Life change can't happen in our community until there is a lifestyle change in us. Simply attending church and never leveraging what God has entrusted to us is not an acceptable option.

We Teach For Life Change

We value acting on what you know over selfishly sitting back and learning more. The goal is life change, not information transfer.

Excellence Honors God and Inspires People

We will not strive for perfection, nor will we wait for perfect conditions. We will give the very best we can to what God is calling us to do.

We Are Not a Buffet

Simplicity enables excellence. We will do a few things with excellence, not everything with mediocrity.
