Horizon College and Seminary

Horizon is all about advancing God’s Kingdom by helping leaders develop their God-given gifts and talents to serve God competently for their whole lives.

Importantly, a Christian “leader” doesn’t necessarily mean a professional minister, nor is a leader necessarily the one out front. Many of our most powerful Kingdom leaders are ones serving in everyday occupations and often quietly in the background.

Who We Are

Horizon is a unique Christian leadership college that offers a unique Christian leadership solution.

—– Did you know that 25% of all Canadians will be senior citizens by 2031?

—– Did you know that the average age of evangelical Christian leaders is 56?

—– Did you know that two-thirds of all lead pastors in Canada are also their church’s only professional leader?

We are facing a shortage of Christian leaders and ministry doesn’t happen without leaders.
