About Us
Celebration Lutheran Church is a friendly, Christ-centered community of disciples. We celebrate the Gospel through worship, express it through music, teach it through fellowship, and share it through daily living. Celebration Lutheran Church provides dynamic ministries, emphasizing programs for families, seniors, children, and youth, the unchurched in the local community, and singles of all ages. We encourage every member to particpate in the life of the congregation and commit to being Christ's presence in the world.

Our Mission Statement

"Living and Celebrating God's love!"

Our Understanding of Scripture

From our constitution come these statements:

"The canonical Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the written Word of God. Inspired by God's Spirit speaking through their authors, they record and announce God's revelation centering in Jesus Christ. Through them God's Spirit speaks to us to create and sustain Christian faith and fellowship for service in the world."

"This congregation accepts the canonical Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the inspired Word of God and the authoritative source and norm of its proclamation, faith, and life."

We make these statements by faith. Not everyone agrees with them and we have no way of proving the truth of what we believe. But as people of faith, having affirmed the Scriptures as "the authoritative source and norm of (our) proclamation, faith, and life," we are bound to make them the central focus of our study and meditation. Solid Scriptural study will be a feature of every faithful Christian congregation.

Some basic assumptions:

1. Faith precedes scripture. Humans began believing in God long before anything about God was written down.

2. The Scriptures are the end product of a long editorial process that took hundreds of years. Histories and stories and legends were gathered from many sources by those Biblical editors.

3. Just as Jesus is completely human, born of a woman, the Scriptures are thoroughly human in their origin. The writers reflect the prejudices, knowledge, and worldview of the time in which they lived. They did not write these documents with the intention of writing Scripture. The documents were affirmed as Scripture at a much later date.

4. The Scriptures contain a huge variety of literary types. There are laws, historical records, stories, songs, poems, liturgies, legends, parables, fables, prophecies, apocalypses, etc. Each type requires a particular style of interpretation.

5. Each portion of Scripture arises out of a particular historical context. Each author had an audience in mind and a purpose in writing.

6. Some portions of Scripture have more significance than others.

7. The Scriptures are alive, not dead, and have come to us through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit They contain the truth of God's plan for the salvation of humanity.

What We Believe
This information & source is from The ELCA Webpage!

Lutherans believe in the Triune God. God created and loves all of creation -- the earth and the seas and all of the world’s inhabitants. We believe that God's Son, Jesus Christ, transforms lives through his death on the cross and his new life, and we trust that God's Spirit is active in the world.

We are part of God’s unfolding plan. When we gather for worship, we connect with believers everywhere. When we study the Bible or hear God’s word in worship, we are drawn more deeply into God’s own saving story.

The convictions shared by Christians from many different traditions are expressed in statements of belief called creeds.

These ecumenical creeds that Lutherans affirm and use in worship confess the faith of the church through the ages and around the world.

The Confession of Faith of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is part of our founding constitution. Celebration Lutheran believes in the Apostles Creed:
