OUR PASTORS
Â
We believe there is nothing greater than a local community of believers worshipping together in God’s church. The mission of Horizon Church is to help people know God, find freedom, discover purpose, and make a difference. We believe He can redeem any life, restore any heart, and revive any relationship for His glory, not only because the Bible says so, but because we’ve seen God do it is over and over again!
Horizon is a church where you can experience the love of Jesus. We believe your best days are still ahead and we invite you to join us as we pursue the presence of God together..
BLESSINGS,
