About Us

HomeAbout Us

We exist to connect people to Jesus and each other

At the core of our mission is the unwavering belief that true fulfillment comes through a deep and personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We are committed to guiding individuals on this spiritual journey, helping them discover the hope, peace, and purpose found in faith. Through worship, teaching, and prayer, we aim to connect people to the transformative power of Jesus and inspire them to live lives rooted in love and service.

Equally important is the sense of community we nurture within our church. We believe that meaningful relationships with others are vital for growth and support. By fostering connections and creating spaces for fellowship, we aim to build a compassionate, uplifting environment where individuals and families can learn, thrive, and grow together in faith. Through shared experiences, we strengthen bonds, encourage one another, and cultivate a community that reflects God’s love in action.

Our Story

Celebration Church, formerly known as ICAG, has been a cornerstone of faith and service in Chicago since the 1970s. Founded by Pastor K.A. Thomas, along with his father Mr Kuttappan and Pastor A.C. John, the church began as a pioneering Malayalam-English bilingual congregation. Over the years, visionary leaders like Pastors George K. Stephenson and Samson Sabu have expanded its reach, fostering a diverse, multicultural community. Renamed in 2024, Celebration Church continues its mission through bilingual worship, vibrant Sunday school programs, mission trips, and impactful outreach, transforming lives locally and globally.

OUR VISION

We are a Church that:

Lives Like Jesus

1 Peter 2:21: "For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps."

Loves Like Jesus

John 13:34-35: "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

Leads Like Jesus

Philippians 2:3-5: "Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,"
