Visitors are always welcome - just know that our worship space doesn't look like a church! It's a house we're leasing for at least the next three years, and we love welcoming new people to our home. Worship is at 9:30 AM; come early for coffee (or tea or juice) and conversation.
Our educational groups for children, youth, and adults meet after worship, from 10:45 - 11:45 AM (except during summer).
Welcome to long-time Lutherans, Christians from every tradition, and people new to the faith.
Welcome to all who have no church home, want to follow Christ, have doubts or do not believe.
Welcome to people of every age and size, color and culture, marital status, ability, disability, and challenge.
Welcome to people of all sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions.
We commit ourselves to embracing racial equity, social and economic justice, and environmental care.
Welcome to believers, questioners, and questioning believers. This is a place where you are welcome to:
celebrate and struggle, rejoice and recover. This is a place where lives are made new.
Celebration is a Reconciling in Christ (RIC) congregation. This means we welcome, affirm, and celebrate people and households of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions in every part of our life as church together. We recognize the wonderful blessings that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual/aromantic (LGBTQIA+) people contribute through gifts for hospitality, teaching, administration, service, leadership, music, and ministry, and support the expression and development of these gifts within our community and the larger church.
When I returned to my hometown after many years outside the state, I decided that serious church-hunting was in order. As part of the LGBTQ+ community, I felt that it was vital to find a fellowship that was open and affirming, as well as friendly and fun to boot. ... It turned out that Celebration Lutheran was the answer to my prayers.
My initial visit that first Sunday involved kind and caring people making me feel at home from the very beginning. Now, eight years later, and with much water under the bridge from that first genuine "How are you?" to my being a member of the church's leadership, I can say that this congregation is nothing short of a loving family for me. No one who enters the doors here feels anything other than an honored guest, from a first drop-in to the member who's been a part of this wonderful mix of people for decades.
It's true to say that an entire day wouldn't allow me enough time to list all of the reasons to try us out and stay, because there are just too many to count.
Come and see us, friend; you may be a valuable part of our gathering here before you know it.
