Restoring Hope Locally + Globally

Kingdom Offering is an annual, one-time offering dedicated to making a local and international impact to reach broken and lost people through Celebration Missions. This offering is the primary means by which we supply resources to strategic assignments within Celebration Missions. 

The Kingdom Offering goes to support our overseas missionaries, short-term missions, national outreach programs, and local community initiatives, here in the city of Raleigh and at Celebration Church! Locally to globally, through Kingdom Offering, we are restoring hope, because we’re all about people.

Global Missions

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” ~ Matthew 28:19-20

Kenya Mission Trip

We're heading to Kenya in 2026 to serve, love, and share the hope of Jesus. Our team will partner with Lead Mission to encourage communities, support ongoing outreach, and minister to children and families through the Gospel in action. Please be praying with us as we prepare, and if God is stirring your heart to go or support, we’d love for you to be part of this mission. Register for the Kenya Mission Trip Information Meeting

NICARAGUA MISSION TRIP 2025

In 2025, our mission team had the incredible opportunity to travel and serve the students and staff at the Donna Holland School. Throughout the trip, the team shared the love of Jesus in powerful ways, preaching the Gospel, encouraging students, and bringing hope through hands-on service.
From painting and repairing areas of the school to praying with students and staff, every moment was a reflection of God’s heart for His people. 💛

Local Missions

For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are. ~ Romans 8:19

Serving Others Is Sharing The Love of God Through Practical Acts Of Kindness

Simple acts of selfless love can open hearts to Jesus, and together we can make a difference. It's a revolution sparked through serving – it’s a culture of serving others all day and infusing that culture into our everyday lives.  

We are actively pursuing the lost, the forgotten, and the poor to show them a God who is passionately in love with them. We stand ready with one heart, saying, “I will serve others and show them the hope they have through Jesus.”

You will receive an email within minutes of applying, confirming that Celebration has received your application.

Each team member has the opportunity to personally contribute and raise his or her own financial support in order to go on a short-term mission trip. We have found that many people don’t have the time or ability to go on a short-term mission trip but have the desire to be involved in some way. We ask, therefore, that every person going on a trip raise his/her funds by writing letters to friends and family sharing the goal of the trip and the financial requirements to make the trip happen.

No, you are not committing by submitting your application. The application puts you on the contact list for the first team meeting, but your application is not complete and your space on the team is not reserved until you have made the non-refundable deposit.

You need to complete growth track and sign the participation agreement in the application. You must also attend the team meetings that take place before the trip.

To give towards the cost of a trip, have the mission team member send you their personal giving link. Funds given through that link will specifically go towards their trip expenses.

If your passport expires less than six months after your departure date, you will need to renew your passport as soon as possible. 

Additionally, if you have a non-U.S. passport, you are responsible for finding out if a visa is required for you to travel to a specific country.

If the trip is full, your application goes on a waiting list. If a space opens up on the team you will receive an email to let you know. If a leader of another trip is still looking for people for his or her team, then he or she may contact you to see if you are interested.

No, it is imperative for team unity and liability reasons that all trip participants travel together.
