CELEBRATE SENIORS
Celebrate Seniors was developed in partnership with the new 239 unit independent, assisted living and memory care facility, Windsor at Celebration. Our ministry is active on a daily basis at Windsor at Celebration, Advent Health Skilled Nursing and also Advent Health (hospital) in Celebration Florida.
Celebrate Seniors embraces the older generation, restores dignity, promotes a healthy spiritual life, provides spiritual growth opportunities and ministers as well to the families of these senior adults. We we provide two weekly Sunday morning services, weekly devotional and Bible Studies, and Chaplain services to the residents. The ministry model of Celebrate Seniors embraces both cooperation and coordination with area churches. We maintain an active census of adult residents that are members or have a desire to identify with a local area church.
Celebrate Seniors actively coordinates and cooperates with established area nonprofits and organizations that provide care to area seniors including the churches, hospitals, nursing centers, continuing education and art/cultural advocates
The model for Celebrate Seniors can scale regionally and nationally at other senior facilities. Independent and assisted living residential facilities throughout the United States are aware of the spiritual needs and benefit of healthy spiritual growth in our senior population.
COLLABORATION AND COORDINATION WITH AREA CHURCHES
Celebrate Seniors is a ministry of Faith Dialogue, a nondenominational fellowship and coordinates church activities with area churches including Celebration Community Church, Community Presbyterian Church, Corpus Christi Catholic Church, illuminate church, Celebration Anglican Fellowship and Celebration Seventh-day Adventist Church. Area churches often have activities they would like to plan for the residents and that type of spiritual enrichment is welcomed and embraced by Celebrate Seniors and the residential community.
Volunteers are always welcome and information on volunteer opportunities can be found here
Celebrate Seniors as part of Faith Dialogue relies on the financial support of our friends and supporters. To make a donation, please click here.

Roaming Catholics: Ending the wandering to embrace the wonder
Was Peter the first Pope? Should Christians pray the rosary? Should priests be married?
These are among the provocative topics addressed in Roaming Catholics: Ending the Wandering to Embrace the Wonder!
This thoroughly researched book presents the development of the Catholic Church in an engaging way to help Christians understand their common history shared by all. This history is not only fascinating, but also deeply compelling, revealing how the church has changed, adapted, and grown. Ultimately it reminds us that Christian faith is not grounded in denominations, but in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The apostle Paul referred to the church as the “Body of Christ,” not the “Body of Christians.” Rather than Jew and Greek, slave and free, male and female, he proclaimed all are one in Christ.
With this concept of the unity of the Christian Church at its core, this illuminating book by pastor and theologian Kenneth A. Behr takes readers on a fascinating journey through the history of the Catholic Church. It’s a history that is common to all Christians, connecting believers of all shapes and sizes through a shared past. Did you know that penance was limited to “once in a lifetime” in the early church? Or that people often delayed baptism until their deathbeds? While things have changed, the essential beliefs of the church based on who Jesus Christ is and the centrality of the Bible have remained the foundation.
Sharing his own religious evolution from a Catholic altar boy to an evangelical pastor, Behr engages readers with a parallel story to the evolution of Catholicism. This story of development and change ignites a sense of wonder about the resiliency of doctrines, teachings, and traditions that have remained relevant to generations of Christians for two thousand years.
