CELEBRANT SINGERS, an international music & missions ministry based in Visalia, California, was founded in the summer of 1977 by Jon Stemkoski with a two-fold vision and purpose. To share the love of God throughout the world using the tool of music, and to encourage the church in North America with an extensive ministry in the Roman Catholic Church.

Since that first summer when the CELEBRANTS made their first major tour of the United States, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in the summer of 1977, they have set out to fulfill that vision by sending over 2000 musical missionaries to over 94 countries  worldwide. They have been involved in extensive outreaches throughout Cuba, Colombia, Venezuela, Greece, Iceland, France, Egypt, India, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, Grenada, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Northern Ireland, Italy, and Central and South America.

Each CELEBRANT team, comprised of 10 vocalist, a 12-piece orchestra, 2 technicians and a bus driver, are chosen by audition from across North America and other countries. Traveling as a missionary team, these highly talented and committed young adults are not salaried, but have dedicated their lives to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ around the world through music, testimony, prayer, and the ministry of God's Word.

From the war-torn streets of Albania to the halls of the Vatican... from the slums of Calcutta to the riches of the Riverea... Celebrant Singers have touched millions with their anointed music, their personal testimonies and their sweet sounds of praise.
