Our History

After working for 15 years in Youth For Christ, and seeing the great need to strengthen marriages and families, Jay and Laura founded Celebrate! Ministries in 1995.

That year Jay began an itinerant speaking ministry to youth and adults alike and together Jay and Laura launched their first Celebrate Your Marriage Conference ®. 100 couples came to that first conference and since then, Celebrate Your Marriage has touched literally thousands of couples across the nation.

Celebrate Ministries, Inc is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Our Mission

To encourage others to become like Jesus Christ through…

• stimulating experiences
• healthy lifestyles
• loving relationships

Our Faith

• We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible authoritative Word of God.
• We believe there is only one true God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return to power and glory.
• We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
• We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
• We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; that they are saved unto the resurrection of life and they are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
• We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Christ.
