COMMUNITY CARE
At Horizon, we are passionate about serving our community. God places a very high value on “Loving your neighbor as yourself.”
We believe that as we serve, we grow in maturity. Life is not all about us and God knew that our greatest fulfillment would come from loving Him by serving others. As His love flows through us, we begin to understand the bigger vision God has – the great commission – to share the good news of God’s love.
- The mission is simple – love God and love others
- The mission is unending – for all your days love God and love others
- The mission is powerful – God flows through us to others
- The mission is life-changing – for us and for our neighbors
– Love God
– Love Others

You can flip burgers and provide a meal to the families at Tualatin Elementary School and Hopkins. We typically provide 700 meals. This has become a well-attended community event. The principal has said that some of the people there no longer attend the school, they just come because they like the event!
If you have connection to a food vendor, please email us. We need burgers, dogs, buns, chips, cookies & water, condiments.
Tualatin Elementary has identified families that would benefit from having food sent home for the weekend. Each Friday during the school year, we meet around noon at Tualatin Elementary to fill backpacks and distribute them outside the classrooms.
You can help by donating food, time, or money. Currently we are serving about 38 families. The value per pack is about $20.
Can you spend one lunch hour a week to make a child feel special? As a Lunch Buddy your job is to be a positive influence. You go to recess with the student and then sit with them at lunch. It’s a small way to make a big impact.
When we asked the school counselor how many Lunch Buddies she wanted, she said, “A million!”
There are a host of other things that we do to partner with the community, like Community Christmas, school staff lunches, etc.
