Celebration Life Ministries

Celebration Life Ministries is a Canadian nonprofit organization and incorporated religious charity dedicated to empowering individuals to lead and officiate meaningful life celebrations. It operates as a recognized religious denomination within the province of Ontario and focuses on providing training and ministry related to rites of passage such as weddings, funerals, and other life events.

History and Mission

Celebration Life Ministries was founded in 2005 by Wayne and Rosanne Prevett, along with a team of associates. The ministry originated from a passion to serve people through practical, hands-on ministry, inspired by the example of Jesus Christ in meeting personal and family needs.

Leadership

The ministry is co-founded and led by Wayne Prevett, a seasoned leader with over twenty years of experience in missional ministry.
