We will tell the next generation the praises of the Lord, His strength, and His wonderful works that He has done . . . that they may set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments.
Psalm 78:4, 7
Do you know that more children today struggle with depression, anxiety, obesity, and even suicidal thoughts than ever before...and that most families prioritize education and sports over spiritual training? Kids are missing out on the living hope that is found in Jesus Christ, and they are hurting!!
VISION
We train in Godliness that we may know Christ, abide in him, and reach others for His glory!
MISSION
The command that Jesus Christ gave His followers was to "GO and make disciples".
Therefore, the task of the church is to make disciples who make disciples...of all ages. Children who have surrendered their lives to Christ ARE part of the church today. They do not have to wait to become adults to follow Him. They have the same Holy Spirit, the same spiritual gifts, and the same mandate on their lives as do adult followers of Christ.
The church is a bridge to families by providing opportunities to grow and serve that otherwise are not availabble to them. We are intentional about training children to be disciples of Christ and empowering them to follow Him in three different branches of ministry: Cultivate, Abide and Seats 2 Streets.
The work to train in Godliness and walk the narrow road of a disciple of Christ is great, but the fruit is beautiful as followers of all ages and people around them are transformed. We praise God for the foundation He is providing for children and the church at Horizon!

Cultivate: Sundays at 10AM
The Disciple lives for Christ every day, all week long. On Sunday mornings, we do not GO to church, we gather AS the church to be equipped, edified, and refreshed by God's Word, worship, and fellowship with our brethren. Our Children's Ministry staff aims to be your child's "half-time coach" to help them in their walk with Christ all week long.

Abide consists of Leaders in Training and DNA Groups
.
The Abide ministry was born out of the Harvest Children's Ministry at Horizon as an expansion of the child's foundation in Christ. However, we quickly learned that what we were teaching children, we needed as youth and adults as well! Therefore, we provide a children's discipleship program called "Leaders in Training" as well as youth and adult discipleship groups called "DNA" groups. This stands for Discover, Nurture, and Act.
Discipleship (DNA) groups are where we truly make disciples who make disciples. Nothing else comes close. We learn to read the word, hear from God through it, and obey it. We dig in and confess our sins to one another, being willing to be held accountable and stay on the righteous path God teaches us to follow. When we are faithful to establish these spiritual disciplines in our lives, the Holy Spirit changes us from the inside out. We become more like Jesus and are able to glorify Him to the lost world who needs Him.
Leaders in Training meets on Wednesdays from 6-7:30pm and is open to 2nd -5th graders. Youth and adults are encouraged to serve as mentors! Registration required.
DNA groups are designated for males and females. Adult and youth groups meet at various times during the week.
Disciples are followers of Jesus Christ. They read God's word, hear from Him in it, and obey His commands, therefore denying themselves. This results in Transformation! True discipleship happens in small groups that are intentional about this process. Kids in 2nd -5th grades meet on Wednesday nights (called Leaders in Training). Youth in 6th grade and up meet in DNA groups, which are gender restricted and meet at various times throughout the week

Seats 2 Streets: We go that they may hear!!
The Seats 2 Streets Ministry was born from the Harvest Children's Ministry at Horizon as an expansion of the Child's foundation in Christ. However, the body of Chris of all ages is needed in this work! We provide opportunities to learn about the Father's missional heart. He desires to rescue the lost , and by sending us out on Mission either for a short term trip or to local apartment complexes for ongoing service, we learn how to share our faith and serve those in need in word and deed.
Missions work is uncomfortable! However, it is in obeying Christ to do hard thing that He stretches us and causes us to rely on Him. This allows Him to show up in our behalf and do powerful things. Our faith is grown, our courage is built, and we experience the Lord firsthand, rather than simply sitting in church and learning about Him. He is teaching us to BE the church, not just attend it! Praise God!
Disciples of Christ are turned towards the Harvest. We are laborers for Him and must share our faith with those around us and learn to serve others. S2S provides opportunities for kids, youth, adults, and families to serve in our community at two apartments complexes and on mission. Missions trips exercise our faith and help us to know and experience God in new ways as we enter the uncomfortable.
