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
