Missions

As a part of the landscape of the Durham/Orange County community, we want to be more than just another building. We want to move out from these walls and into the streets and serve the greater needs of the Triangle and surrounding community. COMMUNITY IMPACT is an opportunity for groups at New Horizon Church to get involved in community service. We've formed partnerships with several non-profit organizations that focus on meeting specific needs in the Triangle area.  We're asking every small group to serve twice a year with one of our community partners. 

Do you have to be in a group to serve? 
The immediate answer is “no”. If you’re not in a group, we hope working along-side group members will result in relationships which will connect you to a small group. We’re serious about our groups and believe that growth occurs best in the context of community.


Community Partners 

Habitat for Humanity of Durham & Summit Church
Now, through September, we are partnering again this year with Habitat and the Summit Church to rebuild Agape Corner School, located in the heart of downtown Durham. Agape Corner is a Christian boarding school where wounded children get a fresh start.

Durham Rescue Mission

On the first Sunday of every month volunteers prepare food and serve 120 men.  We also serve 80 women and children at the Good Samaritan Inn.  Volunteers will prepare and serve a meal on the 3rd Sunday of every month.Contact Jeffrey Husen at  Jeffrey.husen@newhorizonchurch.tv  for ongoing opportunities to serve the Durham Rescue Mission.

 

C. C. Spaulding School
Our desire is to impact the lives of people on an ongoing basis. We’ve adopted the students and their families, as well  as the faculty at C. C. Spaulding School, located in downtown Durham. For several years we have provided every child (335 children) with a new backpack, full of needed supplies. One hundred of the neediest children attending C. C. Spaulding were recipients of Christmas gifts through our Angel Tree. One hundred of the neediest families received food and toiletries through our Food Distribution.  Small groups got together and provided faculty with needed supplies that they would otherwise go without or purchase out of their own pockets.

Pregnancy Support Services
PSS is a Christian ministry assisting individuals facing the challenges of unplanned pregnancy, ministering to the emotional and spiritual needs resulting from abortion or  miscarriage, and promoting sexual abstinence in the community. Here are just a few of the opportunities for small groups to get involved:

  • host a baby shower
  • provide refreshments for volunteer training
  • provide a meal for a new mom
  • clean the PSS facility after hours
