| (Easter Parade, Fifth Avenue NYC, 1900) |
Pastor Joe Champion of this church was careful to emphasize the following to KVUE News: There will be the sacredness of Easter. It’s not a Tim Tebow show. It’s
not about a celebrity… Nevertheless, in practically the same breath, Champion also stated:
Obviously, it’s our Super Bowl…
And Champion should know about such Super things… The church
website states that he was “a football player at Louisiana State University” who had “once considered following in his father’s footsteps with a career in the National Football League…”
Champion instead opted to follow in his Father’s footsteps by entering full-time ministry in 1989 “after a life-transforming experience with Christ.” His wife, Lori, a cancer survivor, co-pastors the church with him. Her “relational
style” of ministry assures women that “no matter what crisis they’re facing or life-stage they’re in, God will use all things for His glory to impact eternity.”
According to its website, the mission of Celebration Church is threefold: To Connect People With Christ To
Connect People With Our Church To
Connect People With Their Call. To these ends, weekly services are held across several campuses in the Austin, Texas area. As Celebration
Church’s twelfth anniversary approaches, thousands are attending these services on a regular basis.
