What we do

Our vision is to see the gospel at heart of New Zealand and New Zealand at the heart of world mission by raising up a new generation of influence.
Therefore we:

• We identify people in their 20-30’s with significant potential.
  Our conferences, conversations, communities and networks attract outstanding men and women who want to embody and express the good news of Jesus Christ.

• With the assistance of older men and women we strengthen and develop their character, convictions and competencies. Helping them to:

  • Understand, express and embody the gospel of Jesus Christ.
  • Live out this gospel with integrity and grow in maturity in all of life.
  • Apply the gospel to the whole of their life and work.
  • Participate in the world-wide mission of the church.

• With the help of mentors and the wider network we assist them to express their convictions, character and competencies in ways that make a constructive contribution in their communities and professions.
  We believe the good news of Jesus Christ is good news for every workplace, profession, discipline and the people in them. Therefore we assist people involved in Catalyst to do three things. Firstly, work well for the Glory of God. Secondly, translate the gospel into the language of their profession and, thirdly through prayer, gospel application and effort discover solutions, which make a constructive and intriguing contribution to their workplaces.

• Over the long term we will be intentionally encouraging groups of friends to be seeking the flourishing of New Zealand society by working in and influencing strategic work places, institutions and organisations in New Zealand.
  While it is true in part, that ideas shape cultures; ideas are birthed, shaped and disseminated in and through institutions, organisations and work places. Any movement that wants to see the gospel shape New Zealand society must take the place of its’ key institutions, workplaces and organisations seriously
