Any celebration can be held at a synagogue, but any place can easily become a synagogue. In Greek, synagogue literally means "meeting house." Most Jewish celebrations tend to be held at a local synagogue, but celebrations can be held anywhere Jews can gather. During the Holocaust, Jews even had small celebrations in concentration camps.

When is a church service held in the synagogue?

Unless there is some specific agreement between the synagogue and the relevant Christian congregation (such as a synagogue allowing Christians to pray in the synagogue on Sundays while the Christians' church is in repair), church services do not take place in synagogues. If by "church services", you actually meant "religious services," Jewish services in synagogues are held three times per day; in the morning, afternoon and evening.
