Horizon Church

What Horizon Church does

Horizon Church is a nonprofit Christian religious organization headquartered at 6365 El Apajo, Rancho Santa Fe, California, offering weekly worship services on Saturdays at 6pm and Sundays at 9am and 11am, with all services livestreamed globally via horizon.org/live. Its ministry portfolio is organized around the "WIN | DISCIPLE | SEND" mission framework and includes age-segmented programs (Kids Church for babies through 6th grade, Horizon YTH for 7th-12th grade, Singles ministry), adult spiritual growth offerings (Growth Classes such as Grief Share and Divorce Care, Life Groups, Daily Devotionals, Prayer Ministry with a Prayer Bot), seasonal outreach (Vacation Bible School), and a global Missions Program with 14 partner organizations across South Sudan, Kenya, Thailand, Cambodia, Mexico, Israel, and ship-based ministry.

The organization operates an adjacent subsidiary, Horizon Prep (a private Christian school), and runs an ancillary e-commerce channel (shop.horizon.org) in addition to the core online giving platform at horizon.org/give. Its underlying technology stack consists of a Squarespace-hosted website, the third-party Church Center SaaS platform for event registration and life group signups, YouTube for sermon archive, Instagram (@horizon.sd) for social engagement, and email newsletter infrastructure for devotionals and announcements.

Horizon Church's business model is donation-based: the ministry is funded entirely by voluntary tithes and offerings from its congregation, with no formal pricing for services. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Distribution combines a single physical campus with global digital streaming, and customer segments are organized as persona-based congregations (children, youth, singles, general members) plus use-case cohorts for individuals navigating life transitions such as grief, divorce, or illness.
