Fequently Asked Questions
Questions? There's a lot to take in and you may still need clarification about the unique DNA that makes up Catalyst. We try to keep a record of the most frequently asked questions and post answers to them.
If you want information beyond what's here, we invite you to contact us with any questions or comments.info@provokechange.org
1. Are you affiliated with any certain denomination?
No. We are a non-denominational church.
2. What city are you in?
We have a vision of being a regional movement, not just a city church. We hope to have a presence in all of Humboldt County. At the moment we meet in:
-Eureka on Sunday mornings at 10am
-Arcata on Sunday evenings at 6pm
We have Life Groups, serve projects and events all over Humboldt.
3. What do you believe?
We study the teachings of Jesus found in the Bible. A basic outline is in our Faith Statement.
4. Is Catalyst an emergent church?
Yes- If by emergent you mean that we seek to be relevant to the next generation, many of whom are postmodern thinkers.
Maybe- If by emergent you mean that we challenge the structures of traditional institutionalized church that often get in the way of its mission. We respect the past, but also believe things must be contextualized and reconstructed from time to time.
No- If by emergent you mean that we are revising the basic elements of faith with a relativist worldview.
For more commentary on this we invite you to listen to our iTunes Podcast on March 15, entitled: 'Changing Churches'
5. Why does Catalyst seem so unique?
A lot of it has to do with our commitment to our core values and a ministry philosophy geared towards doing things differently. For a more long-winded explanation read: Mapping Our DNA: Who We Are
