Seen pedaling around campus was a young man with a T-shirt reading "I'm going to be a doctor." A sign on the back of his bicycle proclaimed: "I'm going to be a Mercedes."
Ten years ago, a group of people met by the beach to proclaim to the world, "We are going to be a church!" We can say that this church was started, not by some survey, or by some denomination, but by people searching for something. They may not have known what that "something" was, but they knew it was missing and they were looking for it. We tolerate uncertain weather, sand-blowers, ducks and crows, a 300-pound beach-goer in a thong, and one Sunday, a salt-water crocodile! Why? One very important reason: Hurting people, who would never set foot in a traditional service or building will come, find hope and encouragement, make new friends and have their life changed for the better. By keeping a low overhead, we are able to help people and organizations within our community.

Naples is blessed with many wonderful churches and synagogues. Our mission at Celebration is to "Provide People Purpose". Our message is the same, but our methods are different because it takes all kinds of churches to reach all kinds of people. We found that when people discovered the beach, discovering their own souls wasn't far behind. So we just let people kind of sneak in. Because of the casual style and Cambier Park location, almost 25% of attendees are tourists or short-term guests of the city. So put on your Hawaiian shirt, slip into a pair of sandals, and enjoy a positive, exciting service based on a "lower latitudes" lifestyle. And, along the way, you may discover God's purpose for your life! So?

'Go to church, get a tan, change your life.'
