Ministries

Celebration Lutheran is engaged in supporting the health, wellbeing, and faith of our congregation and the community.

 

Adult Faith Formation

Adult faith formation includes Adult Forum and other Bible studies, workshops, and conversation about current events/issues. These are opportunities for adults to explore their faith, engage in ideas, share stories, and connect. We welcome adults to come as you are. No need to sign up or bring anything, other than your curiosity. Adult forum is on hold during Summer 2022 and will resume in September.

Youth Ministry

Developing and promoting youth activities is an important part of our church.

Celebration Lutheran offers several activities and opportunities for younger members, including:

  • Sunday School (preschool through middle school)
  • Gardening
  • Music
  • Confirmation (two-year faith formulation process for middle school students)
  • Youth activities and retreats
  • Summer Camp at Lutherhaven Ministries in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho
  • Regional and National Youth Gatherings

Children’s Ministry

Celebration is committed to the care and development of your little ones! Sunday School is at 9am on Sunday mornings, with a break during the summer of 2022. Children ages 5+ will be led by Sunday School teachers. For children younger than 5, we will need your help in facilitating your child’s engagement.

Celebration Lutheran also is engaged with and supports these local organizations and ministries:

Pastoral Care

Pastor Dave and Intern Sarah are here for you, whether that’s just for a friendly chat, celebrate milestones and joys, or times of illness and challenges.

There’s no way around it. Life is complex, and we all need support!

If you find yourself unable to come to church for communion, we’ll come to you. If you find yourself in need of a compassionate ear or need to ask hard questions about God or life, we are here. If you are in need of a blessing, we are here. Contact the church office for more information. 

Funeral Planning

We are here for you and your family when it is time to plan a funeral for your loved one. We offer this funderal planning worksheet as support for you, but you do not need to do this alone. Reach out to the office to start a conversation.
