Catalyst Christian Festival for Young Adults Returns for Second Year
Catalyst, the Christian festival for young adults from all over Ireland, is set to return for its second year this summer. The festival, aimed at 20 and 30 somethings, takes place at Glenarm Castle in County Antrim from June 26 to 28 2015. This year it expects to attract up to 500 people, up from 250 last year. Next year organisers hope to double the figure again to 1,000.
The festival has the strapline: “Unfinished Christians, Reaching Full Potential with God”. At its heart is worship, teaching and ministry. “We want Catalyst to be a place where the local church, from all denominations and from all Christian backgrounds can be affirmed, built up and celebrated,” explains Greg Fromholz, one of the organisers and Dublin and Glendalough’s Young Adults Officer. “We want Catalyst to be a place where people can ask questions about the local church, find hope in the local church and reignite faith in the local church.”
Greg feels that the huge popularity of last year’s festival and the level of interest in the 2015 event show that there is a massive desire amongst young adults to gather in this way. He adds that young adults have the ability to reignite faith in their local churches and the festival aims to be a catalyst for that.
