WE SERVE GODBY HIS SPIRIT

Celebration Church International (CCI) is a mission-minded teaching ministry founded in 2012 by Apostle Emmanuel Iren. Our vision is to see all people celebrate endless life in Christ Jesus and fully embrace the power of His death, burial, and resurrection.

At CCI, we are committed to knowing Christ deeply and making Him known across the world. We nurture spiritual growth through in-depth teaching services, powerful prayer sessions, and outreach programs, empowering believers to live out their faith boldly. Our services are marked by the gifts of the Spirit, where prayer, prophecies, and spiritual songs flow freely in an atmosphere of worship.

We hold firmly to the Word of God as the ultimate standard for doctrine, and we believe that the greatest demonstration of God's love is found in the redemptive work of Christ. Through His grace, we are blessed and righteous in His sight.

Under Apostle Emmanuel Iren's leadership, CCI has grown from a campus fellowship into a global ministry with over 15,000 members and And with more than 30 campuses across Nigeria, the Europe, Canada, and the USA. We are the hands and feet of Christ, spreading the gospel to the uttermost parts of the earth. A billion souls, in 10,000 cities! Christ.

We Believe

The gifts of the Spirit are at work in the life of the believer, so our services are an experience of the uninhibited flow of the Spirit through prayer, prophecies, and spiritual songs.

That the Word of God is the ultimate standard for doctrine.

That the Father's biggest display of affection towards us is in the redemptive work of Christ.

That we are blessed because righteousness is credited to us through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Our Approach

Celebrating endless life in Christ Jesus demands that you:

Know it

At Celebration Church, the word of God is emphasized to ensure every member knows and understands the lordship of Jesus, and experiences progress and joy in the faith.

Live it

Your life should reflect the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ every single day. It’s not enough to simply know that Jesus is Lord—you must live out that truth in everything you do.

Tell it

Celebrating the finished work of Jesus means sharing it with the world. We are called to boldly proclaim His love and grace to as many people as we can.

Our lead pastor

MY CCI EXPERIENCE

Real people, Endless Life

Impartation of Spiritual Gifts
I just realized I've been living my testimony all year.
It started during Reboot camp live stream afternoon session AMBIENCE: Manifesting his presence, pasteyyy raised a song and that was how I found out that music was a teleportation device, the Holy Spirit took me in his arms so softly.
That was the first time I prophesized. During chain prayers I was asked what I wanted and I said I want to be AMBIENCE. Shortly after pasteyyy prayed for the overflow my MAP and I all stood in faith.
Pasteyyy said I stretch my hand to you, that was the last thing I remember, I got my impartation from live stream, I don't know it might sound crazy and unbelievable but it happened.
I never knew such an destiny altering event can happen right from a live stream.
Glory to God!!!

Last year December I have been attending CCI for midweek services and really enjoyed my time there and I was thinking about fully joining the church.
Sadly I lost my mom and was in real emotional stress luckily it was the period for the reboot camp.
I give God all the glory because the reboot camp gave me a sort of relief and comfort.
Need I mention that I got a prophecy from the Apostle despite the fact that I was watching this in a viewing centre and not live.
Apostle Iren mentioned the name of my mum, and gave prophecies about my family that is being fulfilled right before me as I type this.
It all looked like a dream, but I have my map group members to testify along with me that this is actually reality.
I can't wait for another reboot camp, and I pray to be there live.

I want to testify of God's unfailing faithfulness and the fulfillment of His promises in my life. Late last year, God gave me a word: He said He was opening the doors of nations unto me. I held on to that promise and trusted Him completely. Today, by His grace, I am standing in the United Kingdom as a living testimony to His covenant-keeping nature. It didn't even take six months for God to fulfill what He had spoken over my life.
Throughout that season, every word spoken from the altar especially since the birth of the Egbeda church was God speaking directly to me. He gave me clear instructions and constant reassurance, reminding me that &quotNa Him dey run this one&quot— that no man could take the glory for what He was about to do. I remember one particular Sunday when Pastor Dolapo asked us to worship God undignified, and she said that God was handing out packages to individuals. In that moment, I knew in my spirit that mine had been released. I could sense it!
The very next day, I had my CAS interview. It was as though the officer was already welcoming me to the UK before the process was even completed. Just four hours after that interview, I received my CAS letter. But God wasn't done yet! I applied for my visa and received a response exactly 26 hours later—without any premium service or expedited processing. It was purely the hand of God at work!
This entire journey has shown me that when God carries you, He carries you all the way.
He is indeed a covenant-keeping God, and I can testify that His word never returns void. He is faithful to fulfill every promise He makes. To Him alone be all the glory, honor, and praise forevermore! Amen

I want to share this testimony because it shows how much God pays attention to us. And how he can remove obstacles that hinder us from fellowshipping with him.
On the first day of last year's reboot camp, I came down with a terrible head cold. Those kinds that with every sneeze the headache becomes more painful and throbbing. And usually, once I have this kind of cold, it's really difficult for me to do things because I feel sick.
When the first session of RBC started that Thursday evening, I pushed past the headache and sneezing and was rejoicing and kneeling to pray. I managed for some time until my sneezes became more frequent and the headache worsened.
At that point I knelt down and bowed my head to ground, still sniffing and sneezing. I said “Father please I don't want to be sick. I want to be able to enjoy my time in your presence.”
Immediately, I felt like someone crouched down next to me and said into my ear, “you've have sneezed your last.” Of course I know there are angels all over the place at RBC. So I said “thank you Jesus!” In faith.
Brothers and sisters, immediately that happened, I got up and all the urges to sneeze stopped. My nose that was running also dried up within the next 30 mins. By the time I slept and woke up the next day the cold was gone completely.
Colds usually take 2-4 days to go! But mine happened with same day delivery!
Glory to Jesus, our intentional God!
