↳ Who We Are
WE’RE NOT
BORING.
Catalyst Youth is a crew of high schoolers — Grade 8 to Grade 12 — who take God seriously without taking themselves too seriously. We laugh hard, worship loud, and keep it 100% real.
We’re part of The Bridge Church Pretoria, and we believe that following Jesus isn’t something that dulls your life — it actually lights the whole thing up.
Whether you’ve grown up in church your whole life or you’ve never once set foot in one, you will find your place here. No judgement. No performance. Just genuine people who actually care about each other.

MEET OUR FEARLESS LEADERS
It’s
Hein Stapelberg
Hein is the kind of person you want in your corner. Steady, grounded, and quietly brilliant — he’s the rock that holds things together without making a fuss about it. A husband, a dad of four, and a man who said yes to God and hasn’t looked back. He leads with integrity, shows up consistently, and somehow stays calm under pressure. If you’re looking for someone safe to look up to, you found him.
It’s
Sarah Stapelberg
Sarah is the kind of strong that feels like warm. She’s a wife, a mom of four, and the sort of woman who makes you feel at home the moment you meet her. Calm, rooted, and quietly unshakeable — she carries a deep faith and a mother’s heart that extends well beyond her own family. She loves the wild places, the deep conversations, and the people others might overlook. Wherever Sarah is, there’s a safe place to land.
It’s
Danika Van Heerden
Danika walks into a room and somehow everyone feels a little more seen. In her own words: “I love God, and through Him I can do many things.” And honestly? It shows. Whether she’s encouraging you through something hard, making something beautiful out of nothing, or just listening when you need it most — she brings wisdom and warmth that’s well beyond her years. People keep calling her their big sister, and she’s not even trying. That’s just who she is.

FUN…
Catalyst is built for community — and that means new faces are genuinely the best thing that can walk through the door. We love when someone brings a friend.
Got a mate who’s going through a rough patch? A friend asking big questions? Someone who just needs a proper Friday night? Bring them. Seriously. We’ll take care of the rest.
There’s zero awkwardness about pitching up for the first time. Everyone here was new once. You’re expected, you’re wanted, and honestly? We’ve been looking forward to meeting you.
New Here?
Welcome Home.
Walk in. Find a spot. Someone will say hey. You don’t need to know anyone, know any songs, or have anything figured out. Just show up — we’ve got you from there.
↳ What We’re Built On
THE REAL STUFF
✝️
JESUS
Everything we do starts and ends with Jesus. Not a watered-down version — the real deal. He’s not just a historical figure; He’s alive and He actually changes things. Including your life, right now.
📖
THE BIBLE
We’re founded on truth — and the Bible is where we find it. We dig into it in a way that actually makes sense for your life right now. It’s not ancient irrelevant stuff. It hits different when you get it.
⚡
Life & Fun
We go absolutely full send on a good time. Games, food, laughing until your stomach hurts — this is part of who we are. Jesus said He came to give life to the full. We take that seriously.

Every Week.

“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
