Community Celebration Church

Service Times

Sundays at 9:00 & 10:30 a.m.

We have a full worship band and all children are welcome to begin service with their families for praise and worship. Kingdom Kids Sunday School (Ages 3 years to 6^th grade) and Nursery (Birth – 2 years) are available before and after praise and worship.

Come and Visit

You are always welcome to come check out our great and very welcoming church family! You will be blessed if you want to be! We are not a church of perfect people but rather a church of imperfect people with a perfect "God."

The Bible will keep you from sin, or sin will keep you from the Bible.

10 Tips for New People

So you’ve heard about Community Celebration Church, and you are a little curious. Going to a new place can be intimidating and scary. How will I know where to park? What if my kid has to go to the bathroom? What do I wear? We’ve asked those questions too. Please know we will make every effort to make sure your first experience is worry free. We look forward to hanging out with you and becoming friends.

Wear Comfortable Clothes
Leave that tie on the rack and consider wearing jeans. What you wear is not nearly important as who you are.

Park Your Car
We have two parking lots - the East and the West parking lot.

Welcome
Once you walk through our doors you will see the smiles and warmth of CCC. There will be volunteers ready to serve you and answer any questions you have. Plan on spending some time before and after service meeting new friends. Visit our Gathering Grounds area and visit with friends before or after service.

CCC Kids Area
Take the most important people in the building to the child check in area first. We have three check in computers- ask someone if you need help. You can drop them off right away in kids church so they can worship with their peers, or you can bring them into the sanctuary to worship with you, and then bring them to kids church at donut time (a five minute break in the service where people greet each other, silently pray and reflect in their seats, or bring kids back to kids church.)

Early Childhood (Birth – 2 years)
Leaving your baby with a stranger can be tough, that is why we have made every effort to make it comfortable and safe. When checking in your baby and bag, you will receive a tag with your name and a number. Please do not lose the tag as it will be the only way to pick up your child. Should we need your assistance, we will place your number on the screen so you can leave service.

Kingdom Kids (3 years – 4th Grade)
This will be best 60 minutes of your kid’s day. They will laugh, sing, dance, and learn with new friends and amazing leaders. Our goal is to help you lead your child to accept Jesus, become like Jesus, and contribute Jesus to our world. Since we only have one hour with them a week, we will often give you tools to help with ideas and get you talking at home. Kids deserve our best and know we believe in them. Caring team leaders will make sure every kid feels welcomed and is connecting to other students.

Sunday School (5th – 8th Grade)

We meet in the office garage (while our space in the church is being renovated). This is a time when we dig into the Bible and learn truths that will give your kids deep roots in their faith. We do this through games, experiments, worksheets, verse memorization and Biblical conversational teachings.

Main Auditorium
Grab a bulletin and enter into worship with us. Our ushers will help you find a seat and don’t worry about anyone making you stand up and say your name. You will be able to blend in the crowd with no worries.

Worship
We have worked hard to provide you with an experience where you can connect with God. In our main service the band plays a relevant style of music that you will enjoy. Their passion for God is contagious. Words will be on the screen for you to follow.

Teaching
Pastor Steve Larson has a style that is real, relational, and relevant. He is passionate about how the Bible leads us into truth and helps us with everyday living.

Closing
We will be done in 60 minutes.

Donut Time
During our service we have a five-minute break. During this time, you can choose from a few options of what you want to do:

Stay for guided prayer and reflect in your seat.
Go to the gathering grounds to meet other people and build lifelong friendships.
Bring your kids to Kingdom Kids and come back to sanctuary for the message.

Relax
We are known for our “come as you are” atmosphere. We desire to be a safe place for people to be in process and a place where everyone knows they are in process. None of us have arrived. If you think church is a place where perfect people go, CCC is not for you.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What about membership?

We would like all those considering membership to attend our membership class. We feel this is the first step of membership if you want to become an active participant in the mission of CCC. Here we will cover church beliefs, values, mission and the membership covenant.

Why adult baptism?

Many people have questions about believer’s baptism. As modeled in the Bible, baptism was virtually the first thing a new Christ follower willfully did after responding in faith to the good news of Jesus. Baptism is an act of obedience, an outward sign of an inward conversion experience. Though some traditions practice the act of baptism differently, the Bible’s examples show that people were old enough to make a personal choice of faith, and then they were baptized by total submersion in the water.

What is the difference between infant baptism and child dedication?

Since infants cannot choose baptism, we offer an option for parents to dedicate their child to Christ. Here, parents commit to guide their child toward personally choosing a relationship with Christ. During our worship service, the pastor and congregation pray over the family as they make a public and personal promise to raise their child with godly principles.

Can I receive communion at CCC?

Communion is a time to reflect and remember what Christ did for us on the cross to forgive our sins. We offer communion the first Sunday of each month. Though you don’t have to be a member of CCC to receive communion, we ask that you’ve made a personal decision to follow Christ.

What denomination is CCC associated with?

Assemblies of God.

WHAT TO EXPECT

You have probably passed by our church many times and wondered what this place is all about. Our motto is “Come as You Are”. We really mean that! Wear your jeans, sandals or shorts. We also believe that we are all under construction spiritually, so you are welcome to come no matter where you are in your journey. Perhaps you haven’t gone to church in a while – the sermons were boring, the organ music put you to sleep, or you were always being asked to give money. Maybe you are ready to experience a new beginning. Maybe you feel a tugging on your heart to become a Christian – or at least to discover what this Christianity stuff is all about.

Give CCC a try!

In our services, you will experience uplifting contemporary music and a casual, friendly atmosphere. Our band inspires us during Sunday services. You might have heard many of the songs on Christian radio. Everyone worships in their own way – for some it means singing, lifting their hands and clapping along, and for others it means quietly reflecting on the words. You are welcome to do whatever makes you feel most comfortable.

Our services are simple to follow. Each week, our senior pastor, Steve Larson, prepares a relevant, straightforward message based on Scripture. These messages are designed to be helpful in your everyday life. In the bulletin, you will find a sermon outline and note taking sheet.

Look for our host ministry team – identified by name tags- who are available to help you if you have any questions. After each service, our prayer partners will be in the front to pray with you if you desire. You may also write in any comments/concerns/prayer requests on the offering envelopes found on the seats and place it in the offering basket as it is passed. Our prayer team will then pray for you during the week.

During offering time, our visitors are reminded that they are not expected to give. This is an act of worship for our members and regular attendees, allowing them to thank God for all the great work He is doing in their lives.

We celebrate Holy Communion on the first Sunday of each month. All who are followers of Jesus Christ may participate. The elements are passed out row by row, and we ask that you hold the elements for us to all partake together.
