we are officially a church!

Today the paperwork was sent to the feds...
The PO Box was established...

The Catalyst Church of Monterey
P.O. Box 6
Monterey, TN 38574-0006

(not a typo, our box is really only 6)

Send us a letter! 1st piece of mail will be scanned and put up on this site.

CORRECTION: 1st piece of personal mail - I just checked the mail and we got a phone book (I don't think you want me to scan that and put it up here)


We have even grown out of our first location (our home). 22 people in our living room is not very conducive for what we are doing. It was a little scary when we were all on the back deck at one time - the deck is 15 feet in the air and was moving every time someone would breath.
This week we begin meeting at the Whittaker Park Gazebos for potluck communion, worship, and great conversations (with God and with each other) .
It is the epicenter of community activities and will be a great environment to build our CORE team. You have to love a church with swing sets and BBQ grills!

a catalyst in Nicaragua...
A few weeks ago we sent out our first missionary church planter, Eli Covington. We had a commissioning service/cookout for him. He will be planting missional churches in Nicaragua out of a vocational training center where he is teaching woodworking. Please pray for him - I just found out today that he has already had his life threatened.
