Catalyst began in 2005 as Renewed Life Church, when two guys had a dream for a different kind of Church in East Dallas - one for people who just didn't get traditional forms of Church. After two years of meeting together, they renamed the congregation Catalyst and handed it off to two more guys who shared that vision.
Catalyst Church settled in Rowlett, TX, just outside of Dallas, to be a refuge for people who want to learn more about God but found the practices and language of Church to be confusing, irrelevant or even hurtful.
Today, Catalyst continues to insist that God is for everyone. We believe that God offers life to all of us, and we want to create spaces where everyone can embrace their God-given calling. To that end, we focus on faith that makes a real difference every day of the week, a faith that transforms enemies into friends, a faith that celebrates difference and diversity, and a faith that takes seriously the legacy of faithfulness we've received from 2,000 years of people finding life in Jesus.
We believe the best years are ahead of us, and that if God is calling you to join us, then we get to make space for you, too.
