When you visit, don’t be surprised to be greeted at the door with a smile and a handshake. No matter where you come from or who you are, you and your family are welcome here. In fact, we hope that you can find a home here. We are all about family, and to us, the body of Christ is one big family. We would love to get to know you and hear your story!
Our Sunday services start at 10am with a time of worship. All who attend our Sunday worship services enjoy a contemporary and relaxed style. We’re excited about Jesus and the Bible. We express that excitement much the same way people do when they are excited about anything. We clap our hands, sing enthusiastically, shout, and even occasionally jump up and down.
Family is important to us; it’s in our name after all! You can expect to see many young families and children. While children are more than welcome to stay in the main service, we believe it is essential to make Christ real to this generation by focusing much of our energy on vibrant, life-impacting, Bible-based, application-centered programming specifically tailored for teens and young children. So, after worship has concluded, we invite children to participate in our “kid-tested, parent-approved” children’s ministry! We strive to give the kids a strong foundation of Biblical principles and encourage them to start a relationship with the Holy Spirit from a young age, equipping them to stand strong in these challenging times! Besides our various children’s ministries, we also have a nursing mothers room available. Not to mention our amazing youth group that meets every Thursday night!
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God, and therefore is the foundation of every message. The preaching of the Word of God at Celebrate! Family Church places a strong emphasis on faith, and Pastor Andrew is well-known for his very down-to-earth approach. You will often hear him tell relevant and relatable stories from his own life and that of his young family. This all blends together into an encouraging, impactful, and relatable message with a Biblical foundation.
Church is more than Sunday mornings; it’s about growing together as a family. You can expect plenty of church-hosted events and outreaches happening regularly throughout the year, ranging from women’s brunches and men’s breakfasts to fun young adult outings or movie nights for the kids. Life was meant to be done together, and you can expect to make genuine friends here!
Andrew Shoemaker has been the Lead Pastor at Celebrate! Family Church since the fall of 2023. He has his Certificate in Ministry and associate degree in Applied Biblical Science from Elim Bible Institute and College and is an Ordained Minister through Elim Fellowship. Andrew and his wife Hannah desire nothing more than to walk in the things of God as well as to equip and train every generation to walk with the Lord in a practical and Holy Spirit filled way. They have three children, Deborah, Theodore, and Priscilla.
We exist to live like Jesus by way of the Holy Spirit, to cultivate God’s Family, and share Jesus with the world around us.
Our mission is to build a church family that imitates Jesus, serves with joy, loves the lost, and lifts the needy.
Worship with us Sunday at 10am!
Our Sunday services start at 10 am, but we recommend arriving 5-10 minutes early so that you have time to check-in your kids, find a seat, and get comfortable.
We have plenty of parking. Park wherever you find a spot in our two parking lots.
We offer dedicated children’s ministry programs thanks to our team of vetted volunteer teachers. When you arrive, you can check in your kids using the tablets in the hallway. They will be dismissed for children’s church after the worship portion of our service. Of course, your kids are also welcome to stay with you in service. We are used to a little noise. In fact, we have a saying that God, “Put the wiggle in that child!” Besides children’s ministry, we also have a room for nursing mothers complete with a changing table, rockers, and a flatscreen tv so that you don’t miss a moment.
Many of us dress fairly casually around here. Hoodies, jeans, and even Bills jerseys are completely fine. It’s not about what you wear as much as the fact that you come ready to worship and open to the Word of God. Wear whatever you are comfortable with within reason.
Bring yourself, your family, and friends! We also highly recommend bringing a Bible, but don’t worry if you don’t have one. We have one just for you to keep! There is also the Bible App if you prefer to go the digital route.
Our services start at 10am on Sundays and run until approximately 11pm. You can expect a time of worship, followed by a message from Pastor Andrew Shoemaker
After every Sunday service, you can expect some homemade baked goodies to be available down in the cafe thanks to our wonderful kitchen team. These goodies are available at no cost to you and your family. So, stop on down in our cafe after service, grab some goodies, and meet some friendly people.
