What We Believe

In a world longing for things that matter, Horizon Church is a movement committed to helping people live out their God-given purpose through connection, impact, and generosity

God

We believe that God’s relationship with humanity is experienced as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. One God, three natures. There is God’s creative and sustaining power (Father), God coming to earth in the flesh as a sacrifice for our sins (Son), and the breath of God that moves in and among all creation (Holy Spirit).

The Bible

Our first question when faced with a decision is, “what does the Bible say?” The guiding document of our church is the Bible. Our teaching, preaching, worship, and ministry are rooted in the word of God. The Bible is the basis for all we believe.

The Church

On the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit was gifted to the church, the Bible says, “they were all together in one place.” The strength of the church is unity, even in our diversity. We all bring our distinct individual expressions of faith to the very same God for the unifying work of Kingdom building.

The Priesthood of all Believers

We believe that every believer has the gifts, inspiration, and responsibility to be active in the ministry of their calling. Yes, some have been set apart for ordained ministry, but all are called to use their gifts and talents to build God’s kingdom and share their faith with others.

A Welcoming Spirit

Nothing is more important to us than everyone who engages with our ministry, whether in-person or virtual, knows they are welcomed into this space. Whoever you are and wherever you are on life’s journey, you are welcomed here!

Giving

We are called to support the local church with our time, talent, and treasures. The Bible calls for each of us to give 10% (or tithe) of our resources. Regardless of the amount, the sacrifice is the same.

We believe strongly in welcoming all people. We are a safe place for people who are LGBTQ+, meaning we welcome you as you are. You'll find that our goal is to help all people experience the new day that God offers to all. 

We are a United Methodist Church, a Christian Protestant denomination that emphasizes God’s love for all people and the calling to make a difference in the world.
