ABOUT US

OUR STORY.
OUR BELIEFS.

DC Location PASTORS

Pastors Anthony & Brenda Vaughn serve as the City Pastors for our DC Location. They have a deep passion for serving and empowering God’s people, helping them experience transformative change from within.

As gifted communicators and teachers, they have the ability to connect with individuals from diverse backgrounds, sharing the life-changing message of Jesus.

Their true fulfillment comes from investing in others as they strive to honor God through their lives and family.

GLOBAL LEAD PASTORS

Pastors Tim and Jen Timberlake serve as the Senior Pastors of Celebration Church. Their heart is for God’s people and equipping them with the tools to transform their lives from the inside out.

They are both gifted communicators and teachers who have the ability to touch and impact people from various walks of life through the Gospel of Jesus.

Both Pastors Tim and Jen feel most alive when they are pouring back into others, and they seek to glorify God through their lives and family.

OUR Vision

Jesus gave the vision for his church, also known as the great commission, and that is what we live and breathe today. 

“Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and the son and the holy spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”– Matthew 28:19-20

”And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” – Matthew 24:14

“But seek first the kingdom of god and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” – Matthew 6:33

What We Believe

At Celebration Church, we stand firm in the ways of Christ, the values of the kingdom of God, and the teachings of the Bible. As such, we acknowledge scripture as the inspired word of God, written through humanity, to provide a worldview through a relationship in which the church can function as an expression of the kingdom. Click the links below to access the specifics of what we believe at Celebration Church as it relates to topics such as the trinity, Jesus, the Bible, and our role as the church.

Holy bible

The Holy Bible, and only the Bible is the authoritative Word of God. It alone is the final authority in determining all doctrinal truths. In its original writing, it is inspired, infallible, and inerrant.

II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20-21; Proverbs 30:5; Romans 16:25-26

Trinity

There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three are coequal and co-eternal.

(I John 5:7; Genesis 1:26; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; Luke 1:35; Isaiah 9:6; Hebrews 3:7-11)

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. On Earth, Jesus was 100% God and 100% Man. He is the only man ever to have lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the cross for mankind and thus, atoned for our sins through the shedding of His blood. He rose from the dead on the third day according to the scriptures, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return again in power and glory.

(John 1:1,14, 20:28; I Timothy 3:16; Isaiah 9:6; Philippians 2:5-6; I Timothy 2:5)

Holy spirit

The Gifts of the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is manifested through a variety of spiritual gifts to build and sanctify the church, demonstrate the validity of the resurrection, and confirm the power of the Gospel. The Bible’s lists of these gifts are not necessarily exhaustive, and the gifts may occur in various combinations. All believers are commanded to earnestly desire the manifestation of the gifts in their lives. These gifts always operate in harmony with the scriptures and should never be used in violation of biblical parameters.

(Hebrews 2:4; Romans 1:11, 12:4-8; Ephesians 4:16; I Timothy 4:14; II Timothy 1:6-7; I Corinthians 12:1-31, 14:1-40; I Peter 4:10).

Baptism in the Holy Spirit: Given at Pentecost, it is the promise of the Father, sent by Jesus after His ascension, to empower the church to preach the Gospel throughout the whole earth.

 (Joel 2:28-29; Matthew 3:11; Mark 16:17; Acts 1:5,2:1-4, 17, 38-39, 8:14-17, 10:38, 44-47, 11:15-17, 19:1-6).

Salvation

Salvation: We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ: His death, burial, and resurrection. Salvation is a gift from God, not a result of our good works or of any human efforts.

(Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 2:16, 3:8; Titus 3:5; Romans 10:9-10; Acts 16:31; Hebrews 9:22)

Redemption: Man was created good and upright, but by voluntary transgression he fell; his only hope of redemption is. in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 

(Genesis. 1:26-31, 3:1-7; Romans 5:12-21)

Heaven/hell

Heaven: Heaven is the eternal dwelling place for all believers in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

(Matthew 5:3, 12, 20, 6:20, 19:21, 25:34; John 17:24; II Corinthians 5:1; Hebrews 11:16; I Peter 1:4).

Hell: After living one life on Earth, the unbelievers will be judged by God and sent to Hell where they will be eternally tormented with the devil and the fallen angels.

(Matthew 25:41; Mark 9:43-48; Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 14:9-11, 20:12-15, 21:8).

First Friday

First Friday is a global community of believers who want to experience and better understand the culture, language, and expressions of Jesus as he walked the earth. You can join us the first Friday of the month at 5:30 pm for a time of fellowship as we will have food for purchase before our gathering time. The event begins at 7:00 pm and ends at 8:30 pm, with coffee and donuts, so you don’t need to rush out. You can expect similar elements to a service where we begin with communion, worship, and a brief message, but the focus is for you to join around the table and enjoy the rest that God has created.

We hope to see you there!
