LEADING PEOPLE TO EXPERIENCE A GOD-FIRST LIFE “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33 In 1998, with clear direction from God and the blessing of their pastor, Stovall and Kerri Weems moved from Baton Rouge, LA to Jacksonville, FL to plant Celebration Church. With a love for people and a passion for building the local church, they saw Celebration grow from an initial launch team of only 7 people to a church that now has local, regional and international campuses. Our church is not built on the gifts and talents of a few, but on the service and sacrifice of many.
