Looking for authentic community of Jesus followers that is both big and small?
What is Catalyst?
Catalyst is a network of in-person and online groups that meet across southern Ontario and use video technology to connect our network live on Sunday mornings.
We are one church, in many locations, using less of our God's money on buildings and salaries and more of our budget on serving our communities.
​
Each of our groups collaborate, plan, and run their own community service project one month, and an invite a friend outreach the next.
​
We gather all our groups together one Sunday per month for a worship service at a centrally located place
Our Why
Because we are passionate about...
*peer to peer discipleship through authentic community
*building authentic relationships with people outside the church
*reproducing Ekklesia (the word Jesus used that is translated to "church") in a scalable and sustainable way
*being the hands and feet of Jesus in our cities as we serve

​​If you are interested in joining a Catalyst Group that meets outside of Sunday mornings, please let us know here​. Although we currently have no groups available outside of Sunday mornings, we would certainly consider launching one if there is enough demand to do so.
If you are interested in joining a Catalyst Group for people who aren't Christian but desire a safe place to ask questions and learn more about the Christian faith, please let us know here. Although we currently do not have a group like this, we would certainly consider launching one if there is enough demand to do so.
