About Us

Purpose

Catalyst exists to ignite passion for Christ and develop the leadership potential of the next generation, equipping them to engage and impact their world.

Catalyst exists to ignite passion for Christ:
Whether a young leader is leading in the church, in business, at home, or any other life domain, we believe that the quality of one’s relationship with Jesus Christ determines the effectiveness of one’s ability to hear God’s voice, adjust one’s life to Him, authentically relate and lead people, grow in godly character and integrity, and make leadership decisions that effect the eternal futures of others.  We exist to stir the fires of faith in the next generation of leadership.  Other secular entities exist that target young leaders too, but we believe that Catalyst must be Christ-focused and Christ-honoring.  Therefore, we intend to tap into the God-created void in young leaders that hungers for real truth and real meaning in life by calling them to an all-out, sold-out passion for Christ.

Develop the leadership potential of the next generation: 
We believe that everyone has leadership potential because we believe that leadership is ultimately one’s ability to influence others.  We want to connect the next generation of leaders and not only catalyze their leadership desires but help them grow and maximize their leadership potential.  This process starts with a God-induced vision for life producing an alignment one’s life with God’s vision, and effectively and intentionally matures into the original vision.  Catalyst is committed to use its resources and the niche that God has given it to help young leaders reach their full leadership potential.

The Catalyst brand was initiated for the 20 something and 30 something audience. Over time, it has always allowed for others with a similar mindset to participate. This will continue, however, the core target audience for all new products developed and environments created must stay true to this target audience. The mediums for learning and content distribution will be defined by the relevance to this group.

Equipping them to engage and impact their world: 
We want to equip next generation leaders to do much more than increase their leadership skills (though we do want to do that too).  More than this, we want to equip them to engage with those around them and be seen as relevant to their peers yet separate in Who guides them.  We desire that they lead spiritually, whether they lead at home, church, work, or in their community.  Spiritual leadership means that they tap into God’s thinking and wisdom and move themselves and those who follow them into God’s agenda.  We believe that when this happens, they will most effectively engage and impact their world in a way that aligns with God’s purposes.
