About Catalyst

Catalyst Community Church is a dynamic church located in Gadsden, AL. Our beliefs are based on the Bible and centered on Jesus Christ. That means we’re not about a building or some complicated religious system, but about helping people from all backgrounds discover the joy that comes from knowing and serving Jesus Christ.

INVITATION

We invite you to come and check us out this weekend at one of our worship services. We know that going to a new church can be intimidating, so we try to do things in a way where you’ll feel welcome and not like an outsider. When you come, you can participate or just sit back and observe. You’ll discover a warm atmosphere, practical teaching from God's Word and lots of friendly people pursuing God together. And with childcare and classes for all ages, your family will love it too!

FAITH

God made a promise in the Bible that if we seek after Him, we’ll find Him. You are a valued part of God’s creation and His deep desire is to be in a relationship with you. So come and join us as we pursue God together!

fAMILY

At Catalyst Community Church we value the family and we believe church should be a place for people of all ages. Every Sunday we provide children's ministries alongside our regular services, which provides a age-appropriate environment for kids to encounter Christ.

LEADERSHIP

Catalyst Community Church is guided by a leadership team of elders and pastors who provide overall direction and watch over the spiritual needs of the church. Our pastors provide sound, practical, biblical teaching at each worship service. They are equipped to share God's love with our local community. Catalyst Community Church is blessed to have a leadership team who is truly dedicated to Christ and accomplishing His will.

Our Values

PRAY FIRST

Everything we do will be covered in prayer. 

1 Timothy 2:1: The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know (MSG).

BELIEVE GOD

We will believe God for big things. 

Psalms 78:19-22 They whined like spoiled children, “Why can’t God give us a decent meal in this desert? Sure, he struck the rock and the water flowed, creeks cascaded from the rock. But how about some fresh-baked bread? How about a nice cut of meat?” When God heard that, he was furious— his anger flared against Jacob, he lost his temper with Israel.It was clear they didn’t believe God, had no intention of trusting in his help (MSG).

TAKE CARE OF PEOPLE

We will show the love of Jesus by taking care of people. 

Hebrews 6:10: God doesn’t miss anything. He knows perfectly well all the love you’ve shown him by helping needy Christians, and that you keep at it (MSG).

Galatians 6:2: Stoop down and reach out to those who are oppressed. Share their burdens, and so complete Christ’s law (MSG).

Romans 12:13: Help needy Christians; be inventive in hospitality (MSG).

BE FAITHFUL

We will be faithful in serving God and Fulfilling the vision He has for Catalyst.

Matthew 25:21: His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ (NIV)

2 Timothy 4:7: I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith (NIV).

OUR BELIEFS

WE BELIEVE IN THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST.

Jesus is the virgin born Son of God. He lived a sinless life in the flesh. Jesus was crucified on the cross and his blood was shed to pay the price of sin for all humanity. He was then laid to death in the tomb and rose from the dead on the third day. He later ascended to the right hand of the Father. Now, we expectantly wait for his return. (Luke 1:26-38, Isaiah 7:14, Luke 23:26-56, Matthew 27:32-66, John 20, Luke 24:1-49)

WE BELIEVE JESUS IS THE ONE AND ONLY WAY TO SALVATION.

Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” We are saved by faith through grace in Jesus Christ. Salvation is a gift from God and it is not a result of our good works.(John 14:6, Ephesians 2:8-9)

WE BELIEVE IN ONE GOD EXPRESSED IN THREE PERSONS.

The Father

The Son

The Holy Spirit

(Matthew 28:19, 1 Corinthians 8:6, John 5:21, John 14:10)

WE BELIEVE THE BIBLE IS ABSOLUTE TRUTH.

The Bible is God’s Word written by believers who were inspired and guided by the Holy Spirit and it determines all doctrinal beliefs. (Isaiah 40:8, Matthew 24:35, 2 Timothy 3:16-17)

WE BELIEVE THE CHURCH IS A FAMILY OF BELIEVERS.

The Church is the Body of Christ and it's made up of people who have placed their faith in Jesus. It is a family of believers who exist to glorify God, fulfill the Great Commission, and make a real impact in the communities surrounding them. We believe being connected to a local church is an essential part of spiritual growth. (Acts 2:42-47)
