Sundays at 10 am

Each Sunday, we gather to worship God and grow spiritually through the study of His word. The dress code is casual and the people are friendly, so come as you are.
Mission

We exist to create a life-giving, life-changing, missional, mentoring community for people in need of the grace and truth of Jesus Christ.

Beliefs

We believe the Bible is the Word of God; the 66 books within are inspired by God’s revelation to humanity about Himself, ourselves, and the story of His redemption of humanity.

Denomination

Celebration Community Church is affiliated with the Disciples of Christ (Christian Church).

Our Mission

At Celebration, we keep our focus on the main thing: loving the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and our neighbor as ourselves. Everything we do is an expression of this love, demonstrated [or “walked-out”] through worship, witness, community, discipleship, and service.

Join our service and get plugged into the plans God has for you, and our community.

What To Expect

Service at Celebration applies the truths of Scripture to the realities of life in conversational format, creating an environment for celebration, adoration, and surrender to God.

Pastor Jill Jones

Senior Pastor

After attending Celebration for a few years, Jill joined our church staff, serving as our Associate Pastor for 13 years and, beginning the summer of 2020, as our Senior Pastor.  Originally from the South, Jill went to school in Chicago before moving to Denver to work in inner-city ministry with homeless and street youth. Jill earned her Masters of Divinity Degree from Denver Seminary, and she loves traveling, learning, reading, gardening, dancing, hanging out with her husband, Roger, and delighting in their two children, Julia and William.

Wes Scheu

Associate Pastor

Wes came to Celebration in 2005 when he heard that the church needed a new worship director. He figured he should visit the church before applying for a job there, and after his first visit, he says, “I could just feel the Spirit at work in the church and wanted to be part of what He was doing there.” Well, he’s been here ever since, transitioning from part-time worship director to full-time pastor of worship and youth, to getting ordained and becoming our Associate Pastor. Celebration is where he met the love of his life Erin and had three amazing children, Isaiah, Brynna, and Lydia. A lot has happened since he found us. Wes hopes that the Lord has him at Celebration for many years to come. Who knows what might happen next. 🙂 On top of all that, Wes loves hanging out with friends, cooking, hiking, reading fantasy novels, and is an avid fan of the Broncos!

Jazmin Lopez

Children’s Ministry Director

Jazmin is a mother of two kids, Natalia and Joaquin, and is married to Jonathan Alfonseca. They started coming to Celebration in 2013. She first joined the MOPS program at Celebration and later decided to come to church with her family. She loved the community environment and was able to connect right away with different women. After their first visits she was able to see a huge spiritual growth within her family and decided to call Celebration their home church. She is also a Board Member of Mile High Ministries and volunteers at their kids’ school. In her spare time she enjoys connecting with people, watching movies, ice cream, family time and arts & crafts.

Beth Killebrew

Communications Coordinator

Beth came to Celebration following several years at a large, suburban EPC church, happy to find a smaller sister church in her neighborhood. Her goal is to help others connect at Celebration and she does that by focusing on Communications, sending out the Celebration Weekly (our weekly email) and producing our Sunday bulletin, among other things. She also helps to coordinate our worship services and keeps a close eye on our church calendar. Away from church, she enjoys biking, hiking and spending time with friends.
