“When we joined Glenwood in 2022, the first thing I noticed was that this is a praying church.
We don’t just talk about prayer—we pray. God has answered prayers in amazing and even miraculous ways.”

Celeste served in Germany as an IMB missionary with her husband, Steve, from 1995–2015. While on the mission field, she learned the value of prayer and served as the Prayer Strategist for Europe for 11 years. Celeste and Steve have four children and three granddaughters. She enjoys spending time with them. She loves the outdoors, and that’s where you’ll find her most days—walking, hiking, gardening, or sitting on the back deck, marveling at God’s creation with a good cup of tea.
