One of our greatest passions at CFC is to see people discover and use

the incredible gifts God has placed within them. The Catalyst Academy

exists to help you to discover and develop these gifts so that you excel

in leadership and ministry.

Through a mix of practical and theoretical training you will grow

and learn over the course of the year in the heart of our worshipping

community and the result will be a new generation of leaders rising up

to build the church.

By giving a year of your life to serving, developing your gifts,

character and passion, you will become more of the person God

created you to be. You have one life to make a difference and there is

no better way than to be equipped with all that you need to build God’s

kingdom and engage and excel in the future God has for you!

The aim of Catalyst is to “equip and develop young leaders to be missional disciples who build and advance God’s Kingdom.”The Academy is inspired by Ephesians 4:11-12 (NIV) “It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to equip God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.”

The Catalyst Academy will deliver incredible opportunities to be equipped and developed in all areas of ministry and leadership through mentoring, lectures, mission trips, retreats, specialised training and practical experience.

Forget about unproven theories and boring formulas, The Catalyst Academy converts revelation into practical application. From day one you’ll go from the classroom to getting active both in your church and your community.

Get Catalysed and experience the best year of your life!

Often students arrive unsure of what the next step of their journey looks like and have simply committed to giving a year of their life to serving the church. We are committed to helping every intern grow personally throughout the Academy year. Whether you have a clear idea of God’s purpose for your life or not - the Catalyst Academy is an opportunity for personal growth and development that at times can be incredibly challenging, but is always rewarding.

Personal DevotionInterns will be encouraged to pursue God personally during the course of the internship. Leaders are there not just to train interns in tasks but also to spend time helping to fan into flame the gifts of God within them. An intern’s personal walk with God will be their greatest asset throughout the Catalyst year - indeed throughout life!

Pastoral SupportInterns will become a member of a Connect Group and will be actively involved in its activities within CFC. This will ensure that their year is surrounded by great friends who can encourage them as they press on to see God do great things.

MentoringEach intern will have a Mentor who will provide them with care and support on their journey of discipleship. Character DevelopmentThe Catalyst culture values intentionality and accountability. You will be challenged to reflect Christ-likeness in all aspects of your character, setting an example in speech, life, love, faith and purity.

“Thursday is a special day for

all interns - it’s Catalyst Equip!

We spend the whole day with

each other, which really

builds community and

friendship.

We begin the day with a

time of prayer and worship,

in which we hear from God

for ourselves and for each

other - it’s amazing!

The rest of the day is

used for teaching and

training in leadership

and ministry where we

explore the essentials

- everything from self

leadership to the

prophetic.”

Financial integrity is a vital part of The Catalyst Academy. All fees must be paid before or on Tuesday 27th August 2013.

General Living Costs are not included in your fees. We recommend students budget for costs like food, transport, utility and phone bills as well as personal spending.

The course is designed to allow space for students to find part-time work locally to help finance their year. (During their two days off). This should be considered prior to arrival as once The Catalyst Academy year starts it can be more difficult to focus on finding a job when you will be engaged in church and Academy life.
