Welcome to Trinity Lutheran Downtown!

Catalyst is the Youth Ministry at Trinity Lutheran, Downtown, Houston, TX, for students in grades 6–12. Catalyst Youth’s primary goal is to help students experience Jesus, become fully-devoted followers of Jesus Christ and catalysts for the Gospel to the Houston community.

Catalyst Youth is made up of students from all over Houston, from Spring to Humble, and from Clear Lake to Spring Branch, and of course the inner-loop. Many high schools are represented, but our weekly youthnights and special events provide a great environment for fostering friendships regardless.  We gather together in the heart of Houston to experience Jesus and grow in our relationship with Him. 

Middle School (6th – 8th) – The primary discipleship opportunity for Middle School students is called FUEL, which happens every Wednesday of the school year from 5:30 – 7:00pm in the USC.

• Middle School FUEL (5:30 - 7:00pm, Wednesdays) includes games, topical Bible study, worship, and pizza for $1/slice. FUEL also includes a special Confirmation class for students in 8th grade seeking to be confirmed in The Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod; this is not mandatory.

High School (9th – 12th) — The primary discipleship opportunity for High School students is called IGNITE, which happens every Wednesday night from 6:45 – 8:30pm in the USC.

• High School IGNITE (6:45 - 8:30pm, Wednesdays) includes games, topical discussions and Bible study, worship, and pizza for $1/slice. IGNITE provides a great time for students to gather and grow in relationships with other young followers of Jesus.
