At Horizon Christian Church, we believe that the message of Jesus Christ is for all people, not just for people who are comfortable inside a typical church. We strive to create environments for everyone, regardless of their past or present situation, to experience the love and acceptance of Jesus Christ. We use modern and relevent methods to communicate the Gospel message to the world in order to truly reach those far from God. We place high importance on being a church that can spread the influence of the Gospel beyond the city in which we minister. Simply put, we are a church that is prepared to follow God by doing whatever it takes to reach the lost of our world.

Our Mission
Our mission is a circular process that starts with reaching the lost of the world, then creating a pattern of teaching and discipling before we equip and send people out to serve in the world to again reach the lost.
