A new Christian fellowship called Celebration House launches in Ballymena on Sunday, 27th November 2016.
Based on Railway Street, (formerly Living Rivers Church), Celebration House is described as ‘a new church with a fresh vision under the leadership of Pastors Roy and Lynne Stewart.’
Roy and Lynne are, of course, very well known within their present location. Sixteen years ago the couple moved to Ballymena with their young family. They have supported the ministry of Living Rivers Church and Pastors Paul and Karen Brady since then.
In recent years Paul and Karen moved to the United States and pioneered a new church – Millennial Tulsa. The Stewarts have been ministering as lead pastors in The City of the Seven Towers during this time.
With a passion for Jesus, and a heart to see people reached, loved and equipped, they have worked to see a church become a home. A home to become the place where people from all walks of life and backgrounds can come together and ‘do’ life together in the Kingdom.
Recently Pastors Paul and Karen released the ministry of Living Rivers Ballymena into the hands of Roy and Lynne. An opportunity for both marking and making way for a brand-new season.

Celebration House is a new and vibrant church. This ministry is emerging and being established to more accurately reflect and fulfil the vision that the Lord has impressed upon their hearts for many years.
Speaking to The Church Page last weekend, Roy and Lynne were enthusiastic about the launch. “We are excited to share this vision with you. ‘Our desire is to REACH people with the love of God. To TRAIN people in the knowledge of God. To EQUIP people with the power of God to become all that God has created them to be. Also to RELEASE people into the function that God has called them to and to. To CELEBRATE every person as we walk together in this wonderful journey called life.”
They went on to say: “As we boldly step into this new season together, we would like to invite you to be a part of our launch celebrations. We have two gatherings on Sunday 27th November. Firstly at 11:00am, followed by a soup lunch. Also meeting again at 6:00pm and light refreshments will be served after the evening gathering. Joining with invited special guests, we know that this will be a memorable day in the presence of the Lord and power of the Holy Spirit.”
Roy and Lynne expressed Godly gratitude for the Saviour’s goodness to them. They concluded by saying, “We remain thankful for the past, but excited and fully expectant for the future. Celebration House, a place to call HOME.”
The Celebration Coffee shop (formerly Hebrews) will be launching soon!
