CATALYSE: OUR CULTURAL ATTRIBUTES (PART 1 OF 4)

For this month of January, we will present a four-part series about our cultural attributes. This series is develop by our Church Culture initiative team from our 5-year Master Plan, CATALYSE. The team has documented our cultural attributes (or commonly known as Hope spirit) as a movement. In business, we refer to this as organisational or corporate culture.


It comes with a how-to guide on communicating and imparting each of the 10 attributes to your church or group. We have identified the essence of Hope spirit according to our Core Values as follows:-

Purposeful, being a mission enterprise, having a sense of ownership and urgency to fulfill vision 

Church Planting

Embracing a pioneering spirit, church multiplication, thinking globally and acting locally
