Catalyst Festival 2026
WRITTEN BY andy johnston
I am so thankful that we belong to Catalyst, a worldwide family of over 800 churches across more than 40 nations. It is such a gift to be part of something bigger than ourselves. Being part of Catalyst means we are caught up in both a UK-focused and global apostolic mission, and it also means we benefit from the wisdom, care and encouragement that Simon Holley (who leads Catalyst) and his team so faithfully bring to the churches.
Every other year, we gather together as UK Catalyst churches for a Festival to celebrate all that God is doing among us. Our next Festival will take place at the Norfolk Showground (where Newday is also held) from 23rd to 26th May.
The Festival includes a fantastic children’s and youth programme and is a wonderful opportunity to build friendships as we camp together and share life. If camping really isn’t your thing, then don’t worry — there is plenty of local Airbnb and hotel accommodation available.
I am especially excited this year to be helping Simon Holley shape the programme for the main meetings. You may remember that back in 2024 we had the privilege of welcoming Banning Liebscher from Jesus Culture, Sacramento, California, to KCC. He preached a wonderful message in our Book by Book series on Ephesians. I am delighted that Banning will also be with us at the Festival this year, speaking from the main stage on two occasions. Banning has been visiting the UK for around 20 years and carries a deep burden to see God move in revival in our nation. I am really looking forward to receiving from his ministry again.
I would really love to encourage you to consider coming to the Festival. The next price break is at the end of February, so it would be worth booking sooner rather than later if you can. If cost is a challenge, there is also the option to come at a reduced rate by signing up to serve at the event.
I really hope you can join us. I believe it will be a very special few days together in God’s presence, and it would be such a joy to share it with you. Click on the button to find out more and book in.
