FORGE Men’s Ministry
Forge, our men’s ministry at Celebration, exists to disciple men in our relationships with Christ, helping us to live boldly for the Lord. Like Proverbs 27:17 reminds us, men should sharpen each other, like iron on iron. For those of us who are husbands, we want to help each other grow to love our wives as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25). For those of us who are fathers, we strive to grow in bringing up our children in the training and instruction of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4; Deuteronomy 6:7). We’re learning together to live with a consistent biblical worldview that encompasses all the different facets of life.
We meet at 8:30 AM, the second Saturday of each month at the church, for breakfast, study, and building relationships. It’s a bring some food to share, drink lots of coffee, laid back atmosphere, where we laugh together and discuss the Scripture. Other events are announced as we decide to do them.
412 Student Ministry
412 STUDENT MINISTRIES is the middle and high-school student ministry at Celebration. Its mission is to help students grow and take ownership of their faith, and to prepare them to live as committed Christ-followers beyond their teenage years. We do this through weekly fellowship, worship, and Bible study; fall and spring retreats; mission trips; monthly fun events; and more. Students are encouraged to become peer leaders in their group, and to fully participate in the ministries of the broader church.
412 STUDENT MINISTRIES meets Sundays mornings at 9:00

Praise Park
Children's Ministry
Praise park exists to show God's love to the little children of Celebration, teaching them at their age level. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me." That is our prayer for the Celebration children to come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
We have classes on Sunday morning for the service at 10.
AWANA also has a class for preschoolers on Sunday afternoons at 3:00pm.
All workers have had background checks done and gone through the volunteer safety process of Celebration.
Our desire is to provide a safe and fun environment where the children grow toward knowing Jesus personally.
Wednesday Night
Wednesday night prayer group meets at 6:30 on Wednesday night.
Wednesday group time is a great way to recharge in the middle of the week and stay focused on The Lord through the rest of the week.
