Celebration Church in Middletown, OH
Our Mission:
Connecting to people to help people connect to God and become devoted followers of Christ who will impact our community, our area and our world.

Our Vision:
Reaching the next generation to touch the world as we become a house of prayer for all people.

Our first priority is to reach out to young families and singles in the greater Middletown area.  This group will become the foundation for a dynamic praying and worshipping community that will connect with others in our community to make devoted followers of Christ. 
As this group grows it will begin to multiply itself in various ministries and congregations that will reach out to other groups in culturally relevant ways.  This group will serve as a connecting link for prayer, worship and fellowship events to bring the diverse groups together to become a true house of prayer for all nations.

We Value:
  • PRAYER as our primary means of connecting with God and developing an intimate relationship with Him.
  •  WORSHIP as a joyous celebration that brings the dynamic presence of God.
  •  TEACHING God’s Word creatively with a focus on life application, life change and equipping for ministry.
  •  SMALL GROUPS as a primary place to connect with others and grow spiritually.
  •  OUTREACH that is intentional but flows naturally through a lifestyle of praying, caring, listening, and sharing the good news in a way that demonstrates God’s love.
  •  The RELEVANT COMMUNICATION of the good news as reflected in our music, message and methods because the good news is relevant to all peoples in all cultures.
  •  MULTICULTURAL DIVERSITY as a reflection of the heart of Christ who loves all people.
