The mission of Celebration is rooted in Jesus' summary of the law -- to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbor as ourself (Mk 12:28-34). Jesus' words reveal that love of God and neighbor is a passionate pursuit, engaging every aspect of our humanity. But what does it mean to love with "a pure heart fervently"? Is it really possible to remain faithful to our convictions without diminishing people whose beliefs are different from ours? And just who is our neighbor?

We will explore, through vibrant worship, challenging teaching, and practical small group work, how to apply this fundamental Gospel principle to the varied lives and ministries to which God has called each one of us.
