“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Acts 1:8
Catalyst’s core verse commissions the church to depend on the powerful work of the Holy Spirit to break boundaries across four foundational pillars. Just as a table cannot properly serve its purpose if even one leg is weak or missing, we believe a forerunner needs to build strength in all four pillars.
Meet Our Staff
Senior Pastor
I made a decision to follow Jesus Christ in high school, a decision for which I am thankful everyday of my life. I went to Kenya, East Africa to do missions with the poor after seminary. While there, God burned in me the vision to train up disciples (forerunners) that will work together to break the boundaries in their own community and beyond. I am abundantly blessed with a house full of godly women: my partner and better half HeeJung and our four daughters. They are gifts from God reminding me daily of God’s joy and kindness.
Training School & Renewal
I accepted Jesus as my Savior at 9 years old when I answered an altar call during a spirit-filled retreat. My love affair with Jesus started then, as I wept and wept while the Lord touched me with His rich Presence. It’s been an incredible journey to discover who the Lord is and the privileges of being His favored daughter. Our heavenly inheritance has allowed me to experience many amazing moments in the Lord. God is fun! Life with my loving husband Sam and four wonderful daughters is rewarding and fulfilling, as we walk in alignment with the Lord and partner with Him to see lives transformed.
Admin & Finance
God brought me and my husband Daniel to Catalyst in 2010 to restore our broken marriage and to light up our passion for Him. After a 14-year corporate career, God unexpectedly called me into full-time ministry. Both the work experience and being a mother to my precious son were part of God’s perfect plan for me to serve joyfully at Catalyst as the children’s pastor and administrator. As I look into the future, I want to be a daughter who keeps saying “yes” to her Father.
Youth
I came to Catalyst soon after experiencing the healing hand of the Lord and deciding to fully live for the One who gave me new, literal and spiritual life. What should have been a one time visitation unexpectedly turned into God’s providence. What a joyful and rewarding journey it has been since trying to live more in surrender to Jesus, as He continues to reveal more of who He is and who I am in Him! My desire is for God’s children of all generations to encounter the tangible power of His love, so that there would be spiritual revival that starts at an individual level and spreads into our communities and throughout the world.
Children
Since coming to Catalyst in 2018, I have experienced healing and renewal that can only be explained by our supernatural God. God reawakened the dreams that He put in my heart long ago, dreams to serve the children and lead others in worship. I thank Him for the opportunity to serve alongside my husband, Josh, who shares my heart for ministry and is the best dad to our son, Luke. My passion is to see young hearts encounter the perfect love of the Father and testify to the saving work of Jesus in their own lives.
