| 2 Peter 3:18 “…grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
At Celebration Church we have provided many Life Groups to help you grow in your relationship with God and one another. We are the body of Christ and we were never meant to walk in our faith independent of one another.
We all have demanding schedules and great competition for our time. Yet Jesus challenges us with his bold command and encouraging promise. “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things, (including more time), will be added to us.” Matthew 6:33.
Celebration Church exists to provide an environment where you can experience, follow, and celebrate Jesus together as a family of faith. We are a church that values authenticity and where you have an opportunity to be real and find acceptance. The ministry opportunities exist to equip and empower you to become all that God has called you to be.
As we begin our winter semester it is our hope that you will take some time to reflect on where you are now in your relationship with God and your church family here at the Bayside campus. We hope these Life Groups will be a tool to assist you in charting a course of spiritual growth with God and one another that will undoubtedly benefit you personally, and yet equip you to have an impact for the cause of Christ in your world. All of our groups are open groups, meaning that you can step in at any time during the 12 week session. Simply call the facilitator. If there is a group that you would like that we don’t have, consider starting one yourself. We’d be happy to assist you. Contact us at connectu@celebrationchurch.tv.
