ABOUT HORIZON COMMUNITY CHURCH

Horizon is a growing church designed to reach leaders and professionals in the higher income suburbs of eastern Cincinnati.  It has a scenic 70+ acre campus and enjoys weekly attendance of over 2,000. 

At Horizon, we recognize that a spiritual journey is personal and unique.  For that reason, we offer two distinctly different services: 

• The Exploring Service (11 a.m. Sunday) is designed for those who are just beginning to investigate Christianity or who are recently returning to faith.  The service addresses topical themes and spiritual questions relevant to everyday life such as "Who is God?" and "How can I accomplish a more meaningful and more enjoyable life?” 
• The Equipping Service (8:30 a.m. & 9:45 a.m. Sunday) is designed for those who are maturing in their faith, featuring participatory worship music, Calvary Chapel-style expository verse-by-verse teaching focused on specific books of the Bible, and monthly communion.  The goal is to equip Christ-followers for the work of the ministry of the church (Ephesians 4:12).  It is also to purposefully role model and encourage a continuation of time with the Lord in worship and in His Word between weekends by getting alone with God and in fellowship with others. 

Horizon also offers a variety of groups and study opportunities for people at all stages of their spiritual journey. The aim is to create comfortable environments where someone can explore at their own pace, free from pressure or expectations.
