What Is Catalyst?
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.”
