2022 held for our community several answers to prayer, fulfillment of promises, heartbreaking moments of loss, and a renewed and fervent commitment to hastening the day of the Lord. We believe the Lord has tremendous things for Celebration Church for 2023. It is our heart to partner together in prayer with what He is doing in our city, province, nation, and across the globe.

These Prayer Focuses are a direct result of communal listening and discernment. We are convinced that as we lean into prayer for this coming year and look to partner with the things that are on His heart, the Lord will respond with grace, kindness, and breakthrough.

May we listen to the Lord in an even greater way over this next year, co-labouring with Him and each other in the advancement of His Kingdom and see a glorious church emerging!
