Celebrate Jesus Missions take seriously Jesus’ command to
“GO!” (Matthew 28:19) We
equip churches to get outside of their church building and into their community, having a
heart for the lost and hopeless around them. We want individuals and churches to desire their
neighbors, friends, family and co-workers to know Jesus. Through workshops and various
materials, along with on-the-job training, we offer the opportunity for churches and
individuals to experience new life and vibrancy.
Celebrate Jesus is an instrument to form a community out of local churches
and their neighborhoods. We encourage churches to vision and implement unique ways to invite,
welcome, nurture, and disciple those who respond through prayer and the leading of the Holy
Spirit.
A Celebrate Jesus mission involves numerous churches in a geographical area doing servant
evangelism, offering God's love in practical ways to their neighborhoods. This combined
effort can be accomplished as a mini-mission (3-4 days) or a full week
mission.
One of the dynamics of a Celebrate Jesus mission is the coming together of team members
(missionaries) from all over the world. These are people of all ages, gifts and backgrounds
who want to experience hands-on evangelistic outreach with the church family to which they are
assigned. Then those team members
take back to their own churches a refreshed excitement and new tools to use in their own
communities.
