FAQ

1. Where do you meet on Sundays?

We meet at the historic Metropolitan Theater (“The Met”) on High Street. It is a newly restored playhouse with state of the art technology and over 900 seats. Our kids meet just next door at the Morgantown Theater Company, which is also a summer theater camp for kids, so it makes for a perfect (and large with multiple classrooms) space for ages nursery-5th grade.

2. You meet at the Met, so where do we park?

On Sundays you can park for free downtown and at our start time (10am) there is typically over 900 spaces within a short walking distance from our theater, including 3 parking lots.

3. Why do we need another church in Morgantown?

86% of Morgantown residents have no church home whatsoever. Some would call this the norm, we see it as a lack of Jesus being made famous in a good way. We in no way feel like we are or will be better than the rest of the churches here, we just know that we are a community of people that are here to intentionally make relationships and give people a chance at redemption every opportunity we get.

4. What denomination are you?

We are non-denominational, but we are from the Restoration Movement. It is a movement of churches that started to help align all types of churches into one single church. You most likely have heard of the Church of Christ or Christian Church, if you see one of those, that’s us.
The organization that we are starting out of is called the VEF (www.vef.cc) and it works to start active and vibrant churches all throughout the U.S.

5. Why is your name “Catalyst”?

The dictionary defines a catalyst as a person who causes an event or a change. We believe this is what our people should be all about. Being an agent of (good) change in our friendships, families, workplaces and our communities. We exist to cause a crazy grace filled revolution to break out in this city that no one would have seen coming and no one will ever be the same because of it.

6. Can I bring my kids?

You sure can! Our biggest volunteer base at Catalyst Church is our kids department. There is an age appropriate worship service for every child (baby, preschool and elementary) and an ultra safe check-in and pick-up system. Kids can’t get enough of our Sunday program and we have had a few call it the best hour of their entire week.

7. What should I wear?

Clothes. If you are a suit guy or a dress girl, go for it! If you are a jeans and a t-shirt guy or girl, (like most everyone you will see on stage) more power to you. We care about you, not how much you can spend on a Sunday best.  A tux is a nice look though.
