CATCH is an acronym for Christian Anglers Together Can Help. Our primary purpose is to reach individuals with the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the activity of fishing. Secondarily, when resources are available, we provide necessities of life and recreational activities for those in our community that are less fortunate.
We take the Gospel to ponds, lakes and rivers in an attempt to reach people that wouldn’t consider attending a traditional church service. We have competitive bass tournaments for adults and fun-filled fishing derbies for children. Our chaplain or his designee gives a Biblically based devotion at all CATCH events. We share the truth of God’s love and grace in a fun and non-threatening environment..
