I'm Jason Byers, the pastor of Celebration! Church. Born and raised just outside Atlanta, Georgia, I'm a southern boy through and through (which mostly means I like boiled peanuts, being bare-foot, and SEC football)---but don't hate me because I say "y'all."

I gave my life to Christ as a child, and as a teenager, I felt God calling me into the full-time ministry leadership. That started a fantastic journey of faith. God took me to Berry College in Rome, Georgia, where I majored in Religion and Philosophy, to Durban, South Africa, to a couple summers living in Malawi, Africa, and now to the capital of Canada. I'm married to a beautiful lady name Carrie, and we have a really cool dog named Acuda. Just recently, God added to our blessings and to our family by giving us a healthy baby boy named Caleb Jackson Byers - born a Canadian citizen!

Over the past 5 years or so, I've been blessed to work with a number of other churches all over the southern USA and around the world. I'm extremely excited to see what God is now doing in and around our lives here in Ottawa as this church seeks to make an impact for the Kingdom of God.

I enjoy playing, watching, and talking about pretty much any sport. I like to hike, camp, climb trees, take pictures, mountain bike and lots of other things. I am beginning to get hooked on very "Canadian" things, like maple syrup, Tim Horton's, hockey, and . . . snow. I'm glad to be here as our church really focuses on growing and ministering effectively in Ottawa.
