Belong.
Believe.
Become.
Catalyst is a church for college students in Austin. Whether you grew up in church or have never set foot in one, there’s a place for you here. Come early, stay late, and bring a friend — we saved you a seat.
Join us this Sunday at 7:00 PM.
Why “Catalyst”?
A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a reaction without being used up in it. It’s also a person or thing that sparks a major change — without being the source of that change themselves.
That’s who we want to be for you: not the source of your growth, not something you get stuck depending on — just the nudge that makes the next step a little easier. Easier to open a Bible. Easier to ask the hard question. Easier to become who God’s making you into.
Not just a Sunday night.
Three words carry everything we do — they’re not a slogan, they’re the actual shape of a semester with us.
Belong
You don’t need the right answers to belong here. Grab a seat, grab some food, and meet people who get the whole college-in-a-new-city thing.
Believe
We open up scripture in a way that’s honest about doubt and serious about truth — wherever you’re starting from, questions included.
Become
Community groups, mentorship, and real leadership reps — built to outlast a single Sunday and shape the rest of your life.
Wherever you’re starting from.
Coming back to it
Maybe church feels familiar but you’ve drifted, or you’re figuring out what you actually believe now that no one’s making you go. Come as you are — no catching up required.
Genuinely curious
Never set foot in a church and not sure what to expect? You won’t be asked to stand up, sing on cue, or know any of the “insider” stuff. Just come watch and see.
Looking for community
New to Austin and want a church home for the next four years? This is a place to actually get plugged in — a group, a role, real friends — not just show up and leave.
