Dayna Smith
Dayna has always loved children. She left her job as a special education teacher to come to work at Celebration. Plan, organize, and implement is what she does, whether it is leading a Vacation Bible School on a mission trip, overseeing the preschool and children's ministries at the church or directing Celebration Academy. What brings Dayna most joy is being a recipient of the sweet smiles, friendly hello's, and warm hugs of the children who walk the halls of Celebration.
Linda Boushelle
Linda is the ringmaster for all things at Celebration Church. When not being beckoned by the Pastor, Linda dreams about riding off into the sunset in a Jaguar XKR supercharged, convertible.
Dan Brothers
Dan has a heart for leading worship and being the Hands & Feet of Christ domestically & internationally. Dan is never at his desk but if he were you would probably hear "Let Your Glory Shine" by Linkin Brewster.
Dan is just as affluent in his southern spoken English as his spoken Russian & Spanish.
