Welcome to Celebration of Life Church Baytown

The Celebration of Life Story


Celebration of Life was founded in 2002. When Pastors Todd & Cyndy Mooring and Pastor Callie Hargraves, along with a hand full of committed friends, received a call from God to build a vibrant church in Baytown, they answered. The year was 2002. The result was Celebration of Life Church.
Before founding COL, the Moorings traveled with their children across America, preaching and worshiping in churches. Great blessings and revivals erupted everywhere they went, and the Moorings were committed to God's mandate. The very notion of doing anyting but itenerate ministry never crossed their minds.
Then in late 2001, the Lord spoke to Pastor Todd, Cyndy, and Callie and told them:

"Go back home, to Baytown, and plant a church for My glory."
Our Pastors obeyed, and the Lord has been faithful, blessing and increasing the congregation and the vision of Celebration of Life Church!

  • Pastor's Todd, Cyndy and Callie are natives of Baytown, and have a passionate love for our community and the Gulf Coast Region!

  • Celebration is experiencing incredible growth and lives are being changed by the gospal of Jesus Christ every week.

  • Celebration is a family church and everyone is loved and invited to be a family member not just a church member!

-- Pastors Todd & Cyndy Mooring and Pastor Callie Hargraves


Beliefs

What does COL believe about Scripture?

We believe the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God, that men were directed by the Holy Spirit to write. Therefore, the Bible is without error.

What does COL believe about God?

We believe in one God, who exists in three distinct persons (Father, Son & Holy Spirit). We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, became a mortal man to reveal God to humanity, and become the Saviour of this lost world.

What does COL believe about mankind?

Man was created in the image of God, to have fellowship with Him, but became alienated from that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a reasult, man is incapable of coming back into a right relationship with God by his own effort.

What does COL believe about salvation?

We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sins. Salvation only occurs when a person places his faith in the death, and resurrection of Christ as the sufficient payment for his sin.

What does COL believe about the Holy Spirit?

We believe in the existance of the Holy Spirit and His divine interaction with man. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as manifested by the Fruit and the Gifts of the Spirit.
