Catalyst

Emmanuel is excited to be a central part of the wider Catalyst family of churches. The Bible introduces us to groups of connected churches working with an apostolic team and Catalyst seeks to work to this biblical model.

Catalyst is one of several apostolic groups within the Newfrontiers family of churches and together we have around 300 churches in the UK and several thousands of churches overseas, across each continent.

Catalyst is an apostolic family, meaning that the churches connect and align around vision, values and shared mission. Together we seek to start and strengthen churches, believing for many Gospel groups and churches to be effectively planted into every nation on Earth.

Emmanuel is specifically involved within Catalyst in a number of ways. Matt Partridge, our senior pastor, leads one of Catalyst’s hubs and is a part of the UK Strategy Team. As a church we have close working relationships with churches in many places across the world, particularly within the Middle East.

We also attend the Catalyst Festival together every other year where we celebrate with our global family all that God is doing among us and across the nations.
