P.E.A.C.E. P.L.A.N.



If you were in church over the Labor Day weekend, it probably wasn't what you were expecting. Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback church issued a challenge to all the churches of America to come up with a global peace plan and Celebration has risen to that challenge! When we started Celebration on the beach at Lowdermilk, those 12 people who came for that first service and the hundreds of you that come now every Sunday. We have this naples, lower latitude lifestyle, casual, jimmy buffet meets Jesus, environmentally positive, pet friendly outdoor worship experience as our part of being the Kingdom Of God. The coolest part of the kingdom I think, but that is why we are here. The Celebration P.E.A.C.E. Plan revolves around:

P – Plant a church

E – Equip the leaders

A – Assist the poor

C – Care for the sick

E – Educate the next generation


Do you know that we fully support three school/churches in the villages outside of Cap Haitian in Haiti? You pay the salaries of three full time teachers and the salaries of two pastors. You feed 700 children a day a nutritious meal. You have put roofs and built walls. We are paying the full tuition for a student from this village to become a nurse so that she can go back to her home and start a free clinic. This from a church that meets outdoors. If you want to know more, please contact our church office.
