The Bridge Vision

Connecting Our Present to Our Future
// Celebration Church

Dear Family,

Our hearts are full of gratitude and excitement as we embark on a significant journey together. We stand on the verge of a new season in the life of our church-a season marked by transformation, growth, and above all, the overflow of God’s abundant blessings.

As your lead pastors, we have witnessed firsthand the incredible power of generosity within our church community. Time and time again, we have seen the love of Christ on display through your generous hearts, aIlowing us to touch countless lives, both near and far. From the unwavering commitment to missions to the support for local initiatives, you have exemplified the love of God for so many.

Today, we present you with a unique opportunity-a chance to take our generosity to new heights and make an even greater impact on the world around us in the name of Jesus. The Bridge campaign is not just about finances; it is about a lifestyle of selfless love and radical compassion that mirrors the heart of our heavenly Father.

We invite you to embark on this transformative journey alongside us. Together, let us seek God’s guidance and provision as we sacrificially give our time, talents, and resources to advance His Kingdom here on earth. Let us embrace the challenge to step out of our comfort zones, trusting that God wilI provide exceedingly and abundantly beyond what we can ask or imagine.

We understand that each person’s capacity to give will differ, and we honor and appreciate every act of generosity, no matter the size. Our desire is to create an atmosphere of unity where everyone can participate according to their means and be a part of this incredible movement of the love of Christ.

Let us walk forward in faith, hand in hand, knowing that we are not alone but a united body under Christ’s loving leadership. Together, let us impact our community, our city, and our world.

We are filled with anticipation as we embark on this remarkable journey of generosity, and we eagerly await the testimonies of lives transformed, families restored, and communities revitalized by God’s abundant love flowing through us.

In His love,

the bridge.

Connecting Our Present
To Our Future

The Church exists as a beautiful expression of God’s desire; a new humanity united under Christ commissioned to advance the Kingdom of God across the world. At Celebration Church, we strive to participate in this mission with excellence, joy, and boldness. It is with this heart that we step into a new, Spirit-breathed strategic initiative to fulfill this mission: “The Bridge.”

God has supplied Celebration Church with a beautiful set of 8 grace statements, serving as specific expressions of the mission of the church unique to our family. Interestingly, Jacksonville contains 7 primary bridges across its landscape. The vision behind this campaign is that the church will serve as the 8th.

With our 8 grace statements, we are more than a congregation; we are the 8th bridge of unity and transformation in the name of Jesus. In a city adorned with 7 bridges, we rise as the 8th, linking present to future, heaven to earth, and culture to kingdom—a testament to our journey from now to not yet.

Guided by Christ’s words, we embrace the kingdom’s core values: “And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love” (1 Corinthians 13:13). Love connects, love transforms. As we step into this exciting calling, we are reminded that “God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him” (1 John 4:16).

In the midst of our endeavor, we remember “for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21). “The Bridge” is our testament to this truth. With every act of generosity, we sow seeds of hope, unity, and change, becoming a bridge of God’s love to our city and the world. As we stand united, we become living bridges, carrying the Kingdom’s light across divides, nurturing ministerial dreams, and advancing God’s Kingdom across the earth.

Second Coming

Jesus Christ will physically and visibly return to earth for the second time to establish His Kingdom. This will occur at a date undisclosed by the Scriptures

(Matthew 24:30, 26:63-64; Acts 1:9-11; I Thessalonians 4:15-17; II Thessalonians 1:7-8; Revelation 1:7)

Resurrection

Jesus Christ was physically resurrected from the dead in a glorified body three days after His death on the cross. In addition, both the saved and the lost will be resurrected; they that are saved to the resurrection of life and they that are lost to the resurrection of eternal damnation

(Luke 24:16, 36, 39; John 2:19-21, 20:26-28, 21:4; Acts 24:15; I Corinthians 15:42, 44; Philippians 1:21-23, 3:21)

God's Will For Provision

It is the Father’s will for believers to become whole, healthy and successful in all areas of life. But because of the fall, many may not receive the full benefits of God’s will while on Earth. That fact, though, should never prevent all believers from seeking the full benefits of Christ’s provision in order to better serve others.

• Spiritual
(John 3:3-11; II Corinthians 5:17-21; Romans 10:9-10)
• Mental and Emotional
(II Timothy 1:7, 2:11; Philippians 4:7-8; Romans 12:2; Isaiah 26:3).
• Physical
(Isaiah 53:4,5; Matthew 8:17; I Peter 2:24).
• Financial
(Joshua 1:8; Malachi 3:10-11; Luke 6:38; II Corinthians 9:6-10; Deuteronomy 28:1-14; Psalm 34:10, 84:11; Philippians 4:19)

Healing Of The Sick

Healing of the sick is illustrated in the life and ministry of Jesus, and included in the commission of Jesus to His disciples. It is given as a sign, which is to follow believers. It is also a part of Jesus’ work on the Cross and one of the gifts of the Spirit.

(Psalm 103:2-3; Isaiah 53:5; Matthew 8:16-17; Mark 16:17-18; Acts 8:6-7; James 5:14-16; I Corinthians 12:9, 28; Romans 11:29)

Sacraments

Water Baptism: Following faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the new convert is commanded by the Word of God to be baptized in water in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

(Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38; Mark 16:16; Acts 8:12, 36-38; 10:47-48).

The Lord’s Supper: A unique time of communion in the presence of God when the elements of bread and grape juice (the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ) are taken in remembrance of Jesus’ sacrifice on the Cross

(Matthew 26:26-29; I Corinthians 10:16, 11:23-25).

Marriage: We believe marriage is defined in the Bible as a covenant, a sacred bond between one man and one woman, instituted by and publicly entered into before God

(Matthew 19:4-6).

The Church

The church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of Jesus’ Great Commission. Every person who is born of the Spirit is an integral part of the church as a member of the body of believers. There is a spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

(Ephesians 1:22, 2:19-22; Hebrews 12:23; John 17:11, 20-23)

Jesus Christ Indwells All Believers

Christians are people who have invited the Lord Jesus Christ to come and live inside them by His Holy Spirit. They relinquish the authority of their lives over to him thus making Jesus the Lord of their life as well as Savior. They put their trust in what Jesus accomplished for them when He died, was buried, and rose again from the dead

(John 1:12; John 14:17, 23; John 15:4; Romans 8:11; Revelation 3:20)

Jesus' Blood

The Blood that Jesus Christ shed on the Cross of Calvary was sinless and is 100% sufficient to cleanse mankind of all sin. Jesus allowed Himself to be punished for both our sinfulness and our sins, enabling all those who believe to be free from the penalty of sin, which is death

(I John 1:7; Revelation 1:5, 5:9; Colossians 1:20; Romans 3:10-12, 23, 5:9; John 1:29)

Sanctification

Sanctification is the ongoing process of yielding to God’s Word and His Spirit in order to complete the development of Christ’s character in us. It is through the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God that the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life

(I Thessalonians 4:3, 5:23; II Corinthians 3:18, 6:14-18, II Thessalonians 2:1-3, Romans 8:29, 12:1-2, Hebrews 2:11)

Repentance

Repentance is the commitment to turn away from sin in every area of our lives and to follow Christ, which allows us to receive His redemption and to be regenerated by the Holy Spirit. Thus, through repentance we receive forgiveness of sins and appropriate salvation.

(Acts 2:21, 3:19; I John 1:9)

Regeneration

For anyone to know God, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.

(John 6:44, 65; Matthew 19:28; Titus 3:5)

VIRGIN BIRTH

Jesus Christ was conceived by God the Father, through the Holy Spirit (the third person of the Trinity) in the virgin Mary’s womb; therefore, He is the Son of God

(Matthew 1:18, 25; Luke 1:35; Isaiah 7:14; Luke 1:27-35).

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!

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).

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)

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).

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)

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)

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
