Believe:

Horizon Community Church believe the Bible is God's word given by divine inspiration, the record of God's revelations of Himself to humanity. It is trustworthy, sufficient, without error - the supreme authority and guide for all doctrine and conduct. It is the truth by which God brings people into a saving relationship with Himself and leads them to Christian maturity.

Horizon Community Church believe in the one living and true God, perfect in wisdom, sovereignty, holiness, justice, mercy and love. He exists eternally in three coequal persons who act together in creation, providence and redemption.

The Father reigns with providential care over all life and history in the created universe. He hears and answers prayer. He initiated salvation by sending His Son, and He is Father to those who by faith accept His Son as Lord and Savior.

The Son became man, Jesus Christ, who was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. Being fully God and fully man, He revealed God through His sinless life, miracles and teaching. He provided salvation through His atoning death in our place and by His bodily resurrection. He ascended into heaven where He rules over all creation. He intercedes for all believers and dwells in them as their ever-present Lord.

The Holy Spirit inspired men to write the Scriptures. Through this word, He convicts individuals of their sinfulness and of the righteousness of Christ, draws them to the Savior, and bears witness to their new birth. At regeneration and conversion, the believer is baptized in the Holy Spirit. The Spirit indwells, seals and gives spiritual gifts to all believers for ministry in the church and society. He empowers, guides, teaches , fills, sanctifies and produces the fruit of Christ's likeness in all who yield to Him.

Horizon Community Church believe God created an order of spiritual beings called angels to serve Him and do His will. The holy angels are obedient spirits, ministering to the heirs of salvation and glorifying God. Certain angels, called demons, Satan being their chief, through deliberate choice revolted and fell from their exalted position. They now tempt individuals to rebel against God. Their destiny in hell has been sealed by Christ's victory over sin and death.

Horizon Community Church believe God created man in His own image to have fellowship with Himself and to be stewards over His creation. As a result, each person is unique, possesses dignity and is worthy of respect. Through the temptation of Satan, Adam chose to disobey God. This brought sin and death to the human race and suffering to all creation. Therefore, everyone is born with a sinful nature and needs to be reconciled to God. Satan tempts people to rebel against God, even those who love Him. Nonetheless, everyone is personally responsible to God for thoughts, actions and beliefs and has the right to approach Him directly through Jesus Christ, the only mediator, between man and God.

Horizon Community Church believe salvation is redemption by Christ of the whole person from sin and death. It is offered as a free gift by to all and must be received personally through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. An individual is united to Christ by the regeneration of the Holy Spirit. As a child of God, the believer is acquitted of all guilt and brought into a new relationship of peace. Christians grow as the Holy Spirit enables them to understand and obey the word of God.

Horizon Community Church believe the local church is the body of which Christ is the head and all who believe in him are members. Christians are commanded to be baptized upon profession of faith and to unite with a local body for mutual encouragement and growth in discipleship through worship, nurture, service and the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world.
