Hi there!

I'm Will Sam, the pastor here at Catalyst Church. We are a church for college students at UT Austin, and we meet in West Campus, about a ten minute walk from the Tower. We're trying to build the kind of church you read about in Acts 2, where people ate together, prayed together, and took care of each other. We're called Catalyst because change usually starts small. One conversation, one Sunday, one question you finally ask out loud. UT says what starts here changes the world. We think that's right.
