What Is Catalyst?

Catalyst is a ministry plan and a collaborative effort that includes the entire congregation. It outlines our shared ministry goals and the budget to support those goals. The congregation adopts the ministry plan every two years, marking our collective commitment to our mission. Your commitment is what drives our shared mission forward.

You can pledge to support the ministry plan at any point in the cycle. Simply click the button below, choose “Give” to the Catalyst Ministry Plan, and then choose “recurring gift.”

Your financial gifts to Second Baptist support our Catalyst Ministry Plan, a strategic map that helps us serve as catalysts for God’s dreams to come true in our church, throughout the KC metro region, and around the world.

We see throughout the Bible that God’s mission is a sending mission. The priorities in our Catalyst Ministry Plan are more than line items on a budget. They represent the many ways your giving supports our “sending out.”
