Horizon Christian Church

At Horizon Christian Church we know that people often have a lot of questions when considering a new church.  So, in an attempt to answer as many of those questions for you as we can we have filled this page with some commonly asked questions and the answers to them as they pertain to Horizon Christian Church.  If you have a question that isn't answered here feel free to come see us or send us an email. 

 What does a normal Sunday Gathering look like at Horizon?

Check out our Sunday Gatherings page for a detailed description of what you can expect when you come to one of our Sunday Gatherings.

 Do you provide childcare during your Sunday Gatherings?

Yes!  We provide childcare for children up to age six at all of our weeky Sunday gatherings.  All of our childcare volunteers are knowledgable and have been properly screened and checked for your child's safety. 

 I'm not a "church person".  Will I feel comfortable at Horizon?

At Horizon Christian Church we realize that no one is perfect and that we are all stained by sin.   We also realize that no sin is greater than another and that without the saving grace of Jesus Christ we are all lost in sin.  So, we try to love and accept everyone, no matter what their past or current situation looks like.  God loves everyone and so do we.  Our focus is not to judge people, but to help people find their path to redemption through Jesus Christ.

 How do people normally dress at Horizon?

At Horizon Christian Church there really is no normal dress code.  We encourage everyone who attends a weekly gathering, community group, or any other type of meeting to wear what they feel comfortable in.  For most fo the people at Horizon that is pretty casual, but there is never anything wrong with coming just as you are.  We want you to be yourself!

 Where does the money from your weekly offerings go?

At Horizon Christian Church our weekly offerings go toward several different things.  First, we make it a priority to take 10% of everything given and put it to work outside of our church.  This money generally goes to local missions organizations and church planting efforts in other areas of the country and state.  The rest of the money goes to help pay facility rental fees, operating costs, and staff salaries. 

 Who governs/leads/oversees Horizon Christian Church?

At Horizon Christian Church we place great importance in following the Bible as our ultimate authority, and within the Bible we are given parameters for how the local church should be governed.  So, we are governed by a team of men called Elders or Overseers.  These are men who meet certain Biblical qualifications and have a deep commitment to the church and it's mission.  They are to be both spiritual overseers and operational overseers. 

However, in a church plant setting it is not always wise or possible to establish Elders/Overseers from the very beginning.  In fact, Biblical we know this is something that should not be done in haste.  So, we are currently governed by an oversight team.  This is a team of men who meet the same Biblical qualifications that our Elders/Overseers will one day, but are simply from outside our church.  They have been hand picked because of their desire to see Horizon Christian Church accomplish it's unique vision, and as soon as it is possible the oversight team will be replaced by a team of Elders/Overseers from inside the church.
