About Us
There is a Place for You
Please join us at Christ's Table of Grace. This congregation, with the whole ELCA, practices Eucharistic hospitality. If you have been baptized with water in the name of the Holy Trinity, you are invited to participate. The body and blood of Christ are in the bread and wine.
We welcome all of God's Children, whatever their age, the color of their shin, the contents of their wallet, no matter whom they love, how they speak, and whatever their abilities or disabilities; for in Christ Jesus, we all are reconciled to God.

History
Celebration! is the consolidation of three congregations of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (Christ the King, Livonia; Prince of Peace, Westland; and St. John's, Redford). Celebration! was formed on August 1, 2013 for the purpose of future mission and ministry after almost seven years of discussions, worshiping together, socializing together and doing outreach into the community.
After looking at almost 100 different physical sites over a four-year period, and keeping in mind the needs of the communities in which we wish to serve, the congregation voted on August 28, 2016 to purchase the former home of Divine Savior (R.C.) Parish as its permanent home.
We are the only established ELCA congregation from here west until the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti, Michigan area (approx. 22 miles) and Brighton, Michigan (approx. 33 miles), with no other ELCA congregations in Westland, Canton, and Plymouth
