Now and then something comes along that completely reshapes the way a word is used in common vocabulary. When we typically use the word "Church" we almost always think of the images of "What’s happening in here" or we think "What Programs do they have?" or perhaps, "Does this Church meet my needs?…"
With the launching of Celebration in West Chester we are redefining the meaning of "Church" by our love and actions in a way that resembles the way Jesus did things. Since our start in 2005 we have been enjoying and embracing the inescapable and passionate teaching that Jesus gave to his followers to Go and Do as I have shown and taught you. Those words were not just for those early followers, but for all of us. We take this call seriously and passionately live it out with each person we encounter in life, not as a program, but as a practical lifestyle.
The pastor, people, and ministry of Celebration is focused on bringing people back to God, or should we say, Bringing Jesus to People! We believe the Biblical way to do this is not by just giving people truth, but by also giving them proof. They say, "Talk is cheap!" At Celebration we agree. And we are seeking to live out our faith every day in the world in which God has called us to minister.
It’s an exciting, life-giving way to live! None of us would exchange it for any other approach to life. Join us in the adventure of a lifetime! Join us as we live out what Jesus had in mind when he launched his followers to change the world.
The Bible says, "Faith without works is dead..." That's why so many religious places wreak with the smell of deadness. Nothing is going on! At Celebration, we can't stand religion! UGHH! But, we love the real relationship we have found with a living God!
Tired of empty religious promises, cold people and services, and hypocrites that talk a good game but never lift a finger to help hurting people that are all around them every day? Come experience something real. Experience Celebration, Where It's All About Him!
And By The Way,
At Celebration We Don't Just Go To Church,
We Are The Church!
