People who participate in small groups often experience a deeper sense of connection, purpose, and belonging.

outdoor ministries

In late 2022 a small group of Celebration members gathered during the winter months as the home of Bill and Deb Fasen. Together they built two ultra-light Kevlar canoes. In the spring of 2024 Celebration bought a small trailer and our outdoor ministries were born. Now we take multiple groups per year on local outings and Boundary Waters trips. Through the gift of our beautiful canoes and with the help of the Boy Scouts we are able to outfit low-cost adventures for our members to experience the wonder of creation.

justice and equity team

JET has three main foci: Educate, Equip and Accompany. Our goals are to continue to educate ourselves on issues of injustice and our call to be ambassadors for reconciliation through Christ (2 Corinthians 5:16-18) as well as the wider congregation; to equip ourselves and the wider congregation for having hard conversations, grounded in the grace of God; and to accompany other groups, organizations, and individuals in our congregation and wider community to their work for justice by fostering relationships.
