REAL ANSWERS
Catalyst Church Evansville is not a Churchy Church but more of a group of people as family on a journey. The journey that we are all on looks a little different to each of us but we know that we are real people with real lives in the journey of finding real answers. Catalyst Church loves the community because we have first been loved by Jesus. We are not a perfect Church but we are a family that loves each other in the middle of life's ups and downs.
We meet on Sundays to grow in our Journey of faith, but then we break out throughout the week into community groups. Here we continue our journey in a smaller group setting.
We find ways to serve each other and the community around us. When we do this we are "Being" the Church not just Doing Church. Come and join us on this journey of Faith.
Real people just like YOU.

We have 3 spots near the front door for "guest parking" this way you will not have to deal with parking because we will have a spot waiting for you.

We have a GREAT, fun, and interactive children’s environment called “THE BACKYARD”. We also have a check-in system to assure your child’s safety!

OUR HISTORY
"Church Plant"
Catalyst Church was birthed out of a vision that God put on David and Rachel Whitmore's heart. The Whitmores moved to Evansville in July 2010 and immediately began working to plant Catalyst. The church initially met in their apartment with just a handful of people. By late fall of 2010, the church had outgrown their apartment and began meeting at a local Fairfield Inn. After the official launch of Catalyst in February of 2011, David was approached by another pastor whose church had recently moved out of the location at Claremont Ave. In April of 2011, Catalyst moved to the location at Claremont Ave. Initially, the church met in what is now the children's ministry space. Over the course of the next three years, the church acquired the remaining sections of the building and remodeled it for the church's purposes. In just 8 years, God has done amazing things in and through Catalyst Church, and we believe this is just the beginning!
