Join Horizon in our new home @ Matienza

Let me ask you... What comes to mind when you hear the words “BORN AGAIN”?

Hypocrites?
Judgmental?
Weird?
Fanatics?
Cults?
Killjoys?
Money-making scam?

HORIZON MINISTRIES is a born –again church that hopes to dispel all these “Born again" stereotypes and myths.

@ HORIZON WE ARE...FRIENDLY BUT NOT FORCING.
we don’t ask newcomers to stand and
introduce themselves. you can enjoy
the service in total anonymity.

PASSIONATE BUT NOT PREJUDICED.
we don’t attack other people’s beliefs
or religions. we show the relevancy of
christianity and give people the
freedom to decide for themselves.

REAL BUT NOT SELF-RIGHTEOUS.
w e don’t claim to be perfect, only
forgiven people who point the way to
jesus as the source of our hope,
strength, and joy.

@ HORIZON THERE IS...

PRAISE AND WORSHIP
but newcomers are given the option to simply observe.

PREACHING
but it’s not condemning, boring, nor irrelevant. we make the bible come alive and relevant to our everyday life.

GIVING
but only for members and not newcomers

SO WHY NOT GIVE US A TRY?
Come and have the best 2 hours of your week. Come and experience the joy and
blessings of having a personal relationship with JESUS CHRIST.

"Libreng Pagamutan"



Pastor Ric, sharing the Gospel to the patients awaiting their turn during the recently held Horizon Medical Mission in Brgy. 401 in Manila.

Please click the picture above to view more photos from the medical mission.

To all the volunteers, doctors, coordinators, organizers, and pharmaceuticals who donated medicines and vitamins -- may God bless you favorably for taking part of this work and choosing to spend your Sunday afternoon ministering to our less fortunate brothers and sisters. With your help and prayers, we were able to share the Gospel and treat medical and dental patients for free to more than 150 people (children and adults alike) from the area.

Couples Attended PCF-Horizon Anniversary
by Pastor Sandy



They made my night! Others were ecstatic about the anniversary; I was ecstatic about them.

Three couples from the target area, including their children, attended the 12th anniversary of PCF-Horizon, the church helping me in the Sampaloc church planting. It was very timely also that Ptr. Manric gave a vision of a daughter church in Sampaloc. I asked the families to stand up to show to everyone that the vision is slowly taking fruit.

Kindly lay your hands on these people as you pray, because they (including some of their college children) may be the future leaders of the church. Pray that the Spirit will continue to convict them to obedience and that their faith in Jesus will grow leaps and bounds so they may be useful to the Master. These are the people I’m counting on for the birth of the church.

This Saturday night, we will have a Couple’s Fellowship. I will lead a discussion based on the Biblical Design of Marriage by Clem Guillermo (in VCD). This will also be the time that I want to challenge them to make more commitment to the vision of the church. Please pray for strong bonding, and that they will join me in fulfilling the vision.

Ptr. Manric's Welcome Message

Warm greetings in Jesus' Precious Name!

Though nothing beats personal fellowship and interaction, we recognize that there are many ways which we could still connect. One of them is through this website created by one of our members, Ms. Gezelle Rivera.

Feel free to share any problems or concerns that are not that personal, and I will get back to you as soon as I can. You can even ask your "Question for the Pastor" here. Whether in person or in cyberspace, our goal is to minister to every heart, the best way we can.

We dedicate this site for God's glory and for the advancement of His Kingdom.

God bless you! Stay connected.

Horizon Beliefs

• God is bigger, better and more wonderful than you can ask, think or imagine.


• Jesus Christ is God who became man to die for our sins willfully and sacrificially. He loves you and wants you to accept Him as your personal Lord and Savior.


• The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity. He lives in every believer to empower them to live for God's glory.


• The Bible is God's perfect Word to teach us how to know Him better and to live abundantly and purposefully.


• Grace is the only way to have a relationship with God. Only those who are humble and admit they are sinners who cannot save themselves have eternal life.


• Faith is the only way to activate God's grace in one's life.


• God allows evil to exist so that He can destroy it someday. In the meantime, God promises believers victory over sin and evil because He is working all things out for His children's well being.


• Heaven and hell are real places. Death is not the end but the beginning of eternity.


• The church is God's idea. Its purpose is to serve people just as Christ served us.


• Jesus is coming again someday to make all things right and place it under God's total control.


• Horizon exists to be a place for you to believe, belong and become more like Christ.

Purpose Statement

Horizon Ministries exists to become a church for the unchurched by exposing them to God's love (mission), encouraging them to be a part of God's family (membership), empowering them with God's word (maturity), extending themselves for God's service (ministry), in order to exalt God's name (magnification).
