For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. – Colossians 1:9-14

OUR HISTORY

Horizons began as a church plant by Steve Todd, who was asked to start a church in south Lincoln. As a result, Horizons first life group started meeting to envision what kind of church Horizons would be. This first life-group vision continues to inspire why Horizons believes so strongly in community and small groups.

 

Horizons continues to build ministry opportunities and mission outreach events to reach seekers and doubters. We are a church where people can come as they are, grow, and journey with others. 

 

We strive to become life-changed as we learn and grow our relationship with Jesus, striving to love like Him. Being His light for others by serving and giving of our time, talents, and treasures.
