Missions

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.
Matthew 28:19

Why Missions?

At Celebration, we love seeing how God works when His people step out to serve. Through mission trips across the country and around the world, we get to share the hope of Jesus in both word and action—building relationships, meeting needs, and encouraging churches and communities. Each trip is a chance to see God’s heart for the nations and to grow deeper in our own faith as we follow where He leads.

How to Give

You can be part of what God is doing through missions—even if you’re not packing a suitcase! Your gift can support all of our mission efforts, go toward a specific trip, or help send a team member who’s preparing to go. Every donation makes an eternal difference and helps us carry the love of Jesus to people near and far.
