5 /5 Jimmy Lollar: The church celebrated its 32nd anniversary on Sunday, January 12, 2025.
For countless reasons, Celebration Community Church feels like "home" to me. No matter your past experiences with church or Christianity, your interactions with the people and the uplifting worship atmosphere at Celebration Community Church will be nothing short of transformative.
Originally known as White Rock West, Celebration Community Church began as a mission of White Rock Community Church in Dallas, Texas, in January 1993. In its early days, the mission church held services on Sunday afternoons at an existing church in East Fort Worth, which operated on Sunday mornings.
Within a few years, Celebration evolved from a mission of another church into a strong, independent congregation, eventually establishing a mission church of its own. As it sought a permanent home, Celebration moved from East Fort Worth to its current location on Pennsylvania Avenue, just south of downtown Fort Worth in the citys medical district.
The building that houses Celebrations sanctuary was constructed in 1951 by its original owner, St. Johns Evangelical and Reformed Church. By the mid-1990s, as St. Johns congregation diminished, they began renting the building to Celebration, which purchased it in 2001.
The sanctuarys beautiful Gothic Revival design features stone construction. The building is designated as a historic site and is recognized as both a Texas Historic Landmark and a City of Fort Worth Historic and Cultural Landmark.
While the building holds significant architectural and historical value, its important to remember that the true essence of the church lies in its people. If you’re seeking a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming community, consider visiting Celebration Community Church in Fort Worth, Texas.
