Launch is a Success!

Celebration Cedar Park has experienced an outstanding turnout its first two weekends! We have welcomed both brand new guests experiencing a Celebration service for the very first time, and long-time Georgetown members thrilled to have a Celebration campus closer to home. We were excited to see many of the first-time guests from Sept 20th returning the second weekend with friends and family. We know that the growth will only continue!

Our volunteers had a great time learning the system for setting up our very own "Portable Church" on September 19th. It is amazing how quickly and efficiently the set up and tear down process goes after just two weeks of practice. Our volunteers work hard, but they have a great time doing it, there is always laughter and joking as we literally "build" God's House.

Prayer Meeting


We had an awesome time of prayer last Saturday at Summit Christian Academy. There was a great turnout even though it was early in the morning - 7am on a Saturday - and pouring down rain!



We are blessed to have a great launch team who is willing to go above and beyond for Celebration Cedar Park and making the name of Jesus famous throughout the entire Austin area. They have a "whatever it takes" attitude and come with open hearts, ready to serve.

We continue to pray for an excellent launch this weekend, that our volunteers would be greatly blessed, and that people would flood in to see what Celebration Church is all about and meet Jesus face-to-face on Sunday, September 20th. Please continue to lift up the Cedar Park satellite in your prayers!

Outreach a Success!

Over 25 kids and adults met at "Shakes" in Cedar Park on Sunday evening to venture into the crowds and bless people with Celebration labeled bottle water. We loaded up our ice chests and the back of two cars with hundreds of waters and began walking through the crowds of people who were waiting for fireworks. The temperature was still in the 90s so people were so thankful for a nice drink of water. We set a Celebration record and handed out 600 waters in 30 minutes! At one point, we had people flocking to us asking for water after they saw us walking through the crowds!

It was so much fun to be a blessing to our community. Our kids even helped in the endeavor. Here's one of our Pastor's sons in action:

Tour of Summit

We had a great turnout last night at our second walk through at Summit. Many volunteers attended with their families to tour the campus, get updated, and hear an encouraging word from Pastor Joe.

We are blessed to have such a dedicated and talented launch team (seen here discussing details for Guest Services with Pastor E)! Just 19 days to go before we officially break new ground in Cedar Park and expand the reach of Celebration church across the Austin area.
