Catalyst Conference 2008 :: TOGETHER

For those of you who don’t know, the Catalyst Conference is coming up in about 3 weeks and I’ve yet to get my ticket. If you haven’t been to the Catalyst Conference or at least heard of it – I promise you – you’re missing out.

The Catalyst Conference is an all-out palooza of fun, creativity, teaching, imparting, worshipping, equipping, and so much more. As stated on the Catalyst Conference Website,

“Catalyst is all about shaping leaders in the Church, presenting the next big ideas, practices, and content. Catalyst exists to ignite passion for Christ and develop leadership potential in the Next Generation, equipping them to engage and impact their world. Every year, 12,000 next generation converge on Atlanta in October for the Catalyst Conference, the leadership experience of the year. But Catalyst is more than a conference – it purposes to serve as a leadership filter, continually providing relevant training, innovative events, and cutting edge resources for the leaders of the Church.”

Some of the past speakers have included…

Andy Stanley of North Point Community Church

Craig Groeschel of LifeChurch.tv

John Maxwell of Injoy

Erwin McManus of Mosaic Church

Louie Giglio of Passion Conference

Kevin Carroll of The Katalyst Consultancy

S. Truett Cathy of Chick-Fil-A

I am making it my mission to go this year – even though I haven’t purchased a ticket yet. I mean, help a brother out here… I’m a college student. $179 is a lot for me.

Any sponsors?

I could surely use some help.

I would encourage any pastor, church leader, church staff, student pastor, or young/relevant/creative/passionate college student (like me) to go this year. Don’t miss out – I hope I don’t either (lol).
