THE CELEBRATION CHURCH STORY
In 2000, as Pastors Joe and Lori Champion were praying about where to plant a life-giving church, they both heard from the Lord, “It is Austin.”Later that year, Pastors Joe and Lori packed up their three young boys and moved from Louisiana to Round Rock, Texas. The church started in the Round Rock Public library, but quickly outgrew capacity and the church moved to the Wingate hotel, then a retail space on Chisholm Trail.Today, Celebration Church has an on-line presence and global locations in Texas, Italy, and Africa with additional campuses in development. More than twenty years later, we celebrate all that God has done and the many lives that have been impacted.
