[2] In August 2011, the church broke ground on a new facility in Jacksonville, including a three-thousand seat arena-style sanctuary.

Weems was the senior pastor and president of the church until 2021 when he started to shift his focus on missions.

[7] The church believes in the Trinity — one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Marriage is viewed "as a covenant, a sacred bond between one man and one woman, instituted by and publicly entered into before God".

On February 2022, Weems sued to get reinstated in his old position and said he wants "full and thorough investigation of any and all wrongdoing involving the church’s board of trustees, present and former officers, employees, and other parties and organizations that contributed to the dispute.

In the motion, the church said this is the “latest chapter in a campaign of deception, manipulation, distraction, and abuse of power by Stovall and Kerri Weems against Celebration.” Also in the motion, the church alleged that the Weemses improperly used over $1 million in PPP loan proceeds to fund Honey Lake Farms, LLC – an entity they managed – and to purchase an illiquid, speculative digital currency called TurnCoin.

The Weemeses argue that ARC executive director Dino Rizzo, its co-founder Chris Hodges, and founding board member John Siebeling had been “working behind the scenes to oust Pastor Weems from his leadership position” at the church.

In December 2024, the lawsuit was dismissed by a federal judge over concerns that handling it would violate the ecclesiastical abstention doctrine.
