Partners
Horizon believes we are stronger together, so working with other churches and organizations in our community is a big part of how we do ministry. We are fortunate to maintain longstanding relationships with several other nonprofits and ministries, a few of which are outlined below. If you are interested in learning more or volunteering to support any of these ministries but not sure where to start, contact Beth Ann Davis.
Araminta Freedom Initiative
Horizon was privileged to help found this incredible organization that works diligently to end human trafficking in the Baltimore region. Contact Alyssa Bello to learn how to get involved.
Nicaragua – Orphan Network
Horizon's international stewardship focuses on a specific region of the world in partnership with Grace City Church and Orphan Network. Over the years, we have sent many teams to Nicaragua to serve in orphanages and collaborate with the local church there to support their mission of ending the generational cycles of poverty in their community and country. We also help fund feeding programs that provide meals for kids who wouldn’t otherwise receive enough to eat. Contact Tyler Bello to learn how to get involved.
Without a Hook
Without a Hook was birthed when a member of Horizon Church saw a need in his community and offered his time and resources to be part of the solution. The organization provides a central hub for people to plug into, either helping out or getting help out of their community. They currently feed people the first Saturday of every month in downtown Glen Rock, as well as working in homes around town as needs arise, no strings attached. Contact Mick McKee to learn how to get involved.
Foster the family Baltimore
Foster the Family Baltimore brings practical support to the doorstep of a foster family at its most vulnerable time. This includes items for the child such as clothes, toiletries, and other supplies as well as support for the whole family through meals, events, and supports groups. Check out this video for more information. Contact Ben and Nikki Hughes to learn how to get involved.
Assistance center of towson churches
The Assistance Center of Towson Churches aims to support people in need in the greater Towson area. Many people who are homeless, hungry, or otherwise in need find their way to the ACTC, which provides strategic and ongoing support to those who come through their doors. In addition to donating funds, Horizon also assists with various food drives throughout the year. Contact Ryan Casey to learn how to get involved.
Youth for christ
The Youth for Christ ministry serves high school and middle school students across the country to share the good news of Jesus Christ. Horizon specifically focuses on a local club in Towson by supporting the staff and helping to fund camp trips. Many from our church have served on staff or volunteered with YFC. Contact Rob and Noreen Douglas to learn how to get involved.
Food for thought
Food For Thought partners local organizations with Baltimore County schools to eliminate food insecurity, which is a barrier to education and the successful future of Baltimore County Public School students. Access to nutritious food is chronically unstable for students who are food insecure. Horizon partners with First Lutheran Church to provide weekend bags to students at Pleasant Plains Elementary School. Contact Jess Larkin to learn how to get involved.
Bridges International - Elizabeth Kim
Bridges International (a Cru ministry) is a caring community of Christ-followers committed to serve, promote social connections, and engage in spiritual conversations with international students so that students become leaders internationally. We support Horizon Alum Elizabeth Kim who directly impacts the members of Bridges International through her service and missions. Contact Tyler Bello to learn how to get involved.

TurnAround’s mission is to educate, empower, and advocate for all people impacted by domestic violence, sexual violence, and human trafficking in Baltimore City, Baltimore County, and Howard County. The organization`s vision is to end and prevent violence and abuse by working together with survivors, their support systems, and our communities. Contact Christina Bauer to learn how to get involved.
Young Life : Towson University
Young Life seeks to introduce adolescents to Jesus Christ and help them grow in their faith - they serve high school, middle school, and college students across the world.
