Our Vision

Mission Catalyst is an association of growing churches that are outreach-focused, grace-oriented, fully committed to God, and proclaim a common view of Biblical truth. Mission Catalyst began in 2004 in response to God's call to plant churches that never stop making an ever-larger impact for the kingdom.

Mission Catalyst equips teams of leaders to start prevailing churches.

The characteristics of a prevailing church:

The church ethos is unselfish: It's all about the next person who needs to meet Jesus.
The church understands and connects with the culture through music, technology, preaching, and the arts.
A high percentage of attenders had no church background before finding this church.
Authentic Acts 2 community happens (largely, but not exclusively) through its system of small groups.
The stories of supernatural life-change and radical discipleship are countless.
The church never stops reaching more people. Whatever the church's age, it continues to grow.
The church has an increasingly significant footprint in the community. You can't miss it.

Top Five Questions

Why do we exist? To release the dreams of highly-committed church leaders.

What’s our niche? We equip teams of leaders to start hell-rattling churches that are passionate about transformational good news. Our structure removes the middle man between God and local church leaders. Our theological views, which include the blessing of Sabbath rest, push grace and salvation to the forefront.

What kind of churches? Churches that engage the culture, foster healthy relationships, and aspire to imitate Jesus in character and priorities, including the irrepressible passion to seek people for God.

Why are we independent? The churches we plant are not officially affiliated with any denomination because an independent structure allows the churches flexibility, freedom, and funds to invest more in winning people to Christ.

Why now? Because it’s too late to do it yesterday.

The 6.5 Theses: Undeniable Truths Worth Nailing Somewhere

1   The local church is God’s design to reach people. It is the hope of each community. The local church is God’s highest priority.

2   Any conference or network exists only to resource and assist the local church in reaching its maximum redemptive potential. Ask not what the church can do for the network; ask what the network can do for the church.

3   Local churches exist to reach the next person. Effective leaders are clear that the primary customer is the person who will not go to heaven unless something changes before the end of his/her life. Those who pay the bills, who are already convinced, and who already attend are the secondary customer.

4   Churches are self-determining when it comes to the things that cause health and growth (e.g., staffing, money, and governance). Since the local church is God’s design to reach a community, its leaders must prayerfully decide how best to invest tithe and offerings.

5   Those who are persuaded of the Mission Catalyst theological perspective are not spiritually superior to those who attend any other Christian church. God uses Christians with various points of view to help people cross the line of faith.

6   Leaders don’t wait for permission to obey God’s promptings. Once they hear His voice, understand His heart, and consult with people they respect, they act.

6.5   Every community should have a healthy, unselfish, growing Mission Catalyst church.
