Why We Exist
We're here to help people Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose & Make a Difference.
Whether you’re new to church, have been a Christian for many years, or are looking for a fresh start, you’re welcome here. Our hope is to give you a place where you experience a fresh, enjoyable connection to God and a community of people.
We keep our focus simple so we can have the biggest impact possible. Everything we do as a church is filtered through our focus on helping every person live the full life for which God created all of us.
Know God
Weekend Services
God wants to know us personally. More than just practicing religion, He wants to have a relationship with us. Our services are a safe place to learn more about what it means to know God and grow closer to Him.
Find Freedom
Life Groups
One of the ways God designed for us to live in freedom is to have people in our life to help us in the journey. Connecting with others in a Life Group is a practical and life-giving way to find a community that fits perfectly with you.
Discover Purpose
Next Steps
We're all an important part of God's plan, and our life will never make sense until we discover our purpose. The New Horizon Next Step Classes are designed to help us take steps in the important process of discovering our purpose.
Make a Difference
Dream Team
When we are following God's plan for our life, we make a difference in the lives of others and experience the joy of doing that. Through the New Horizon Dream Team, we hope to connect every person to live out their calling by using their gifts and talents to serve others in the church and the community.
John Raymond | SENIOR PASTOR
John Raymond is the founding pastor of New Horizon Church. August 29, 2005 was the day New Horizon had set their official Vision Casting Sunday to launch as a church. Hurricane Katrina happened on August 28, 2005, just one day before. Despite the confusion and despair during such a hard time for this area, God remained sovereign and provided us the opportunity to move into our current building. Pastor John's vision to build a dynamic ministry for the Kingdom never stopped. The building was completely gutted after having 5 feet of water inside and years of repair work began.
After a fresh launch in April of 2014, New Horizon has expanded and is known for its life-giving culture and focus on leading people to an intimate relationship with God.
John has a passion for building a complete ministry that can provide spiritual growth for every person, locally and globally. New Horizon is the owner of The Bridge Radio 88.7 FM, which reaches the entire Gulf-South Region and streams live to the entire globe, along with Lakeside Christian Academy, a Pre-K through 12th grade Christian school.
John and his wife Liz have three children: John Derek, Monica & Benjamin, who love the Lord and serve Him faithfully.
