Our MissionTo turn seekers into disciplers in community.

We accomplish this mission when we: Invite people to a loving community, Offer a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ, Develop authentic examples of Christian character &

conduct, and Mobilize teams for ministry in the church and mission in

the world.

Our Core Values Spiritual seekers matter to God, so they matter to us. Personal prayer is the key to spiritual and societal renewal.

The Bible is culturally relevant and personally transformingfor modern people.

Every follower of Christ is a minister of Christ. Authentic faith in Christ is expressed in personal witness

and social activism. Whole-hearted devotion to Christ is normal for the believer. Life-change happens optimally in the context of a small

group. Excellence honors God and inspires people.

Since 1994, Small Groups have been the very heart of New

Horizon. Weve laughed, cried, studied the Bible, prayed, loved,supported, encouraged, watched movies, eaten popcorn, had fun

and shared life together. Through Small Groups, we develop

relationships that are meaningful and real. Because our lives

have been touched so deeply by Small Groups, we are excited

that you are considering checking them out! If youd like to finda group, you can use this catalog to select a group based on the

focus of the group and day of the week that works best for you.

Then call or email the Small Group Leader to find out more about

the group and get directions to the meeting. Also, if you look

through this entire catalog and you feel God is leading you to

form a group with a different focus, please contact Teresa Pratt

at [email protected].

But I am giving you a new command. You must love each other, just

as I have loved you. If you love each other, everyone will know that

you are my disciples.
