Celebration Academy of Spiritual Empowerment
The mission and vision of the school is simple: TO EXPERIENCE AND SHARE THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST.
Jesus spent three years (approximately 8000 hours) with His disciples. At the end of that time they still had issues. The idea that we can effectively disciple a congregation in one hour a week just isn’t giving our best.
Dr William Lewis, Pastor Bill Vanderbush and others will bring academic excellence and spiritual insight into a living and vibrant experience of equipping you to walk in God’s presence and power.
There are many free opportunities in our community to engage in learning through classes and life groups. But if you’re hungry for more, this school is for you!

Summer Journey
Summer Journey 2020
After much discernment and prayer, the administrative decision has been made to cancel Summer Journey 2020.
As you know, the state has begun to slowly re-open but with strict guidelines for social distancing, use of face masks, and frequent sanitation. The very activities that are conducted at camp call for close proximity and hands-on experiences with games equipment and craft materials. As such, the strict guidelines would be impossible to maintain safely at a children’s camp.
Our entire staff looks forward to seeing you in Summer Journey 2021.
Summer Journey 2019 Fun!
