Who we are

Catalyst is Tertiary Student Christian Fellowship’s ministry to graduates in the workplace and to post-graduate students and academics.

Our vision is to see the gospel at the heart of New Zealand and New Zealand at the heart of world mission by growing a new generation of graduates who together, shaped by the values of true witness, deep thought, undivided life and global reach, will seek to impact their professions and disciplines.

Proclaiming the truth and relevance of Jesus Christ.	Living with integrity and growing in maturity.	Applying the bible to the whole of life and relating the gospel to study.	Participating in the world-wide mission of the church.

If the gospel is going to be at the heart of New Zealand it has to be at the heart of the workplace and tertiary environment.

“Work is both a means of honouring God and of involvement at the heart of society. Proper engagement with the marketplace and academy is absolutely vital if we are to be salt and light in the world. The workplace is the vital arena for most Christians to connect with culture, share faith, build relationships and manifest the essential difference that Christ makes through word and action.”—Nigel Pollock

Therefore we want to grow a generation of graduates whose faith is at the heart of their professional, academic and personal life. We want to see graduates who are willing and able to share their faith verbally, apply it to the marketplace and academy constructively and live it out graciously.
