..and they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people.  And the Lord added to the church such as should be saved.
-Acts 2: 46-47

OUR MISSION

New Horizons Church exists expressly for the purpose of fulfilling “The Great Commission” of Matthew 28:19-20 through teaching the Word of God, reaching the world with the message of God’s love and forgiveness, equipping the believer as a minister and exalting the Lord in worship.

OUR COMMUNITY

Our community is a beautifully unique part of the Pacific Northwest. Nestled off of I-5, one hour from Pacific ocean beaches, surrounded by three flowing rivers and under the shadow of a drowsy volcano. Our community is rich in worship musicians, various churches, mill workers, loggers, outdoor enthusiasts, small business developers, and just down to earth families and friends.

OUR BELIEFS

OUR STORY

Bible:
All of the Bible is the written Word of God. It is the final authority for our life and faith in Jesus Christ.
 

God:
He is a living and true God who is perfect in love and all His ways.
He is one God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
 

Jesus:
He is God’s only Son. Man can restore his broken relationship with God and be assured of eternal life through Jesus Christ alone.
 

Holy Spirit:
Christ lives within our hearts through the Holy Spirit. Also, the baptism of the Holy Spirit according to Acts 2:4, is given to believers who ask for it (Acts 2:39).
 

Spiritual Gifts:
All spiritual gifts mentioned in the New Testament are available for the church today.
 

Healing:
Healing is available as a result of the redemptive work of Christ.
 

Ordinances:
In water baptism and observance of the Lord’s Supper.
 

The Second Coming:
In the blessed hope, which is the rapture of the church, and the
second coming of Christ.

March 2020

Due to a world wide pandemic known as COVID-19, we had to cancel our in sanctuary services for several months, like many other churches across the nation. However this opened up a whole new door in starting online services for the first time. And after everything is opened up, we will continue to provide online messages from the pastor on our social media platforms for those who can not make it in person . 

APRIL 2020

This date marks our 25th anniversary for NHC with the same pastor, Larry Rogers! The last 25 years has been so exciting  and we are looking for many more to come. We hope that you will be part of our story as well.

June 2020

We opened up our services for in-person congregation once again. Being good stewards in sanitizing and COVID precautions recommended. It's a new world we live in but we are still spreading the Gospel and being there for our community in person and online!!

​JuLY 2021

During 2020 we did some much needed updating in the interior sanctuary, media and sound equipment. So this summer of 2021 we started on the exterior. Pastor Larry did much of the painting himself by hand with a few volunteers and then all the touch ups, trim work and 2nd coating done by a small local company led by Stan Sigler who gave our much needed fresh-up on the outside.  We are ready for another 20 years now!
