October 13th, 2009 — Construction Update
We were truly thankful through this summer season of attempting to close with the bank on a construction loan. We saw God accomplish miracle after miracle in regards to rallying our church together around the cause, solidifying our construction team and bringing in amazing appraisals on the land. However, by the time we were ready to close on the loan, the lending environment had changed along with our country’s economic condition.
We know God’s timing is perfect. Let’s continue to pray and encourage each other in our Imagine participation. Together we will continue to believe God and prepare for the great things to come.
Thank you for your Imagine giving.
August 8th, 2009 — Construction Update, Pictures
As you already know, we are hoping to break ground soon with our new Facility. We are excited to share the updated pictures and architectural renderings of Phase One of the project.
In Phase One we will be building our new 3000 seat Sanctuary and our Children’s Environments. Our new facility will expand our ability to show the love of God to the lost and the hurting in Northeast Florida and around the World.
Thank you so much for your faithful giving and sacrifice to IMAGINE!

God is using Celebration Church to make a difference in the World. Thanks to your IMAGINE giving, YOU are making it possible to reach the lost in regions that until now have been untouched and seemingly forgotten.
Ten percent of all IMAGINE giving goes toward the support of Celebration Church’s International church plants in Africa, Costa Rica, and the future plant in Greece. We have been able to provide places of worship in countries where Christianity is not widely accepted and provide food, shelter, and hope for thousands of children. In the near future we will provide an avenue for social justice in places where human trafficking is an overwhelming reality.
YOU have made a difference in the lives of thousands. Countless more can be reached if we all choose to participate in what God is doing here in our church. Our impact cannot stop here. There is so much more work to be done.
Can you IMAGINE?
January 22nd, 2009 — Construction Update, Financial Update
On Wednesday’s Vision Night, Pastor Stovall shared with us an update on IMAGINE. Here are the highlights:
In 2009, we will have both a Financial Goal and a Participation Goal as a church. Our Financial Goal this year is $4.5 Million. This figure represents the $1 Million left from our 2008 goal and the $3.5 Million needed this year in order to break ground.
Our 2009 Participation Goal is 2000 Households. In order for us to be successful and break ground in 2009, it will require that all of us do our part by participating.
Pastor Stovall also announced two changes for 2009. Because of the current economic climate in our nation, we will be implementing a “Phase” approach for the construction of the new building. This will mean that we will be able to build in phases, which will allow us to stay on target with our timelines and better manage the available finances.
Additionally, 10% of all IMAGINE gifts will now go not only to Africa, but also towards the funding of Celebration Church’s International Church Plants in Greece and Costa Rica. We will also use a portion of this 10% to support the Social Justice Causes that we partner with.
Check back soon as we will have additional information on the allocation of IMAGINE funds received over the past five years, as well as examples of the different lending scenarios that we believe will be available to us and how each may impact our project.
Above all, please pray about your participation in IMAGINE in 2009. If we all participate, we can break ground soon and move into the next chapter that God has for Celebration Church.
