Lead Pastors

Pastors Mark and Nicole Hammond are the Lead Pastors and have been married for over twenty years. They are a dynamic team and have faithfully served at Celebration Center in a variety of roles over the last two decades.

Both pastors are known for their down to earth approach to life and their unfiltered, real ministry style, which is built upon their own personal testimonies of God’s redeeming grace and His transforming love. They have a unique ability to present the Word of God in a simple, yet practical way.

As a couple, they have a passionate desire to see the lost come to Jesus and help them recognize their identity and discover their God-given purpose.

They have 4 adult children and 2 granddaughters. In addition to ministry, they enjoy a hot cup of coffee, laughing with friends and traveling.
