Why We Exist...

It seems odd to write this to you, but I was reflecting on why, five years ago, Celebrate Church was born. As we journey, we often find ourselves forgetting what is core to our existence. Here are the core values of Celebrate Church that keep us focused on what's important:

1. That God’s Word (The Bible) is the primary catalyst for life change.
2. That every person -- believer and non-believer -- matters to God.
3. That a presentation of Jesus Christ should be creative and connecting while remaining Biblically sound.
4. That accountability among members provides consistent and continual spiritual growth.
5. That people working together as a team result in effective, efficient, and expanding ministry.
6. That every person has talent/ability to be discovered, developed, and deployed.
7. That in every thing we do, God deserves excellence and our best.
8. That effectively influencing people to Christ happens through people inviting and investing in people.
9. That consistent life growth happens best in small groups.
10. That children of each age group be raised to exhibit godly character and authentic faith to impact their generation with the love of Christ.

Together, let’s take these core values from written text and activate them with our daily lives.
