Lead Pastor:
Nolan Frederick
Lead Pastor Nolan Frederick and his wife Chelsea have been serving the Lord together in churches since 2001. While he previously led the student ministry at two churches, Chelsea helped out in just about every area possible - teaching Sunday School, planning events, leading bible study, hospitality, and being a constant source of encouragement and support. They moved back home to Artesia to launch Catalyst Church in January 2016.
Nolan and Chelsea have three children: daughter Avery, and sons Cason, and Easton. They are excited about their children having the opportunity to grow up in their hometown and be a part of helping change Artesia for the Kingdom of God.
