ABOUT US

What time do you meet?We offer Christian Education Classes for all ages at 9:30 on Sunday Mornings. Following this we meet at 10:30 a.m. for our morning worship service. Our service lasts approximately one hour and a half to an hour and forty-five minutes.On Saturday we offer a Recovery Service which meets _ 11 AM. This service focuses on overcoming life's addictions.On Wednesday night we have program ministries for all ages including nursery for infants and toddlers, Mpact Girls, Royal Rangers (kids clubs) Refuge Youth Ministries, and Fusion Service for adults in the sanctuary. All of our program ministries on Wednesday night begin at 7 pm and end promptly at 8:30 pm.Who attends Celebration Church?People of all nations, generations and walks of life. Our church's goal is to be a warm church where everyone can belong. As a result, the people who attend our church are very diverse. We want you to feel welcome from the first moment you walk in the doors. You will find friendly people who are ready to answer your questions and help you settle in.Where are you located?Our church campus is located at 16235 Lake Magdalene Blvd, Tampa, FL 33613 , right across the street from the Tampa Bay Credit Union.Where do I go when I arrive?When you arrive in the parking lot you'll notice we have special visitor parking spaces reserved just for you. Our Christian Education building is the first one you'll come to, if you will be dropping off your children you will find our nursery and children's ministries located in this area. Once the kids are settled, keep walking down the breezeway and feel free to get a complimentary cup of coffee there before coming in to the worship service. Greeters & ushers are available to help answer your questions or direct you around the building. The main sanctuary is directly behind the Christian Education building. There is a fellowship area between the two buildings with a playground for kids, courtyard, and café area to relax and talk with friends.What should I wear?You'll notice quickly that we don't have any Sunday dress code. Some people wear jeans, others wear suits. Some people wear flip flops, others wear dress shoes. We have a relaxed atmosphere that we trust you will find accepting and inviting. You can feel free to stay anonymous or jump right in and start making new friends.What will my kids do?If you have brought children with you ages K-5th grade, we have KidZone which runs the same time as our service. We also have nursery for infants and toddlers. KidZone Jr is for ages 3-5. Our Kidz ministries are a lot of fun, but we understand that sometimes you or your child would be much more comfortable attending the worship service with you. Please feel free to keep your children with you if you desire.What happens in your service?We begin with a warm welcome and then high energy worship, and sing worship songs. We usually stand during this time, but you can feel free to sit, sing, clap, raise your hands, keep them in your pockets, or simply sit back and observe. The music is almost entirely contemporary and played by a worship band with guitars, keyboard, drums and more. We may also sing a classic hymn or two.There may be times of prayer when we go to the front of the church to pray for each other. The second Sunday of the month we also celebrate communion, the Lord's Supper, together during the worship time.Following the worship and prayer, we take a few minutes to get up and greet each other. Many people will walk around to say hello and to introduce themselves. Some people just stay where they were sitting. You can feel free to mingle or to stay seated if you prefer. The greeting time is usually followed by an offering. Please do not feel any obligation to give. We simply want you to be our guest.Next is the sermon which is normally brought by one or both of our lead pastors, Larry and Deanna Shrodes. Our pastors are both powerful preachers and teachers of the word and both minister on Sunday mornings, separately or often in a tag team message. They may use video clips, stories, drama and humor to apply Bible truth to our lives in a practical and relevant way. The main points to the sermon are usually worked into a media presentation. There is a place on your bulletin so you can take notes if you like.Following the sermon there may be a short time of worship and an opportunity for you to respond to the message in prayer or action. We do not make a spectacle out of anyone. Instead, we have caring people who want to pray with you and ask God to meet your needs.Before you leave...Stop by Guest Services to ask questions and pick up a small gift that we have for you. Most people are not in a hurry to leave and will take time to talk to each other and build relationships. More than anything Celebration Church is a place to belong, believe and become.How do I meet people?As our church grows larger we want to continue to prioritize personal relationships. The best way for you to begin building relationships is to join a Fusion Group. These groups meet on Wednesday night during the Fusion Service. The groups are for adults and contain no more than 10 people each. From there you will develop many other friendships and connections quickly. Does Celebration Church offer counseling?Yes, on a limited basis. We offer pre-marital, family and crisis counseling. The counseling we offer is strictly pastoral. We will refer long-term care to licensed counselors.What denomination is Celebration Church?We actually avoid the “D” word because it tends to polarize people. However, we do have people ask this question, so here'’s how we answer it. Celebration Church is a Christian church dedicated to the Bible, to loving God through Jesus Christ, and to loving our neighbors as our own self. Although our congregation comes from diverse faith backgrounds and is not defined by any particular denomination, we are a self-governing church within the Assemblies of God organization..
