T.A.G HELPING SEATTLE... ON A MISSION Talk about being on the MOVE! Last year, members of the T.A.G (Transforming A Generation) Ministry went to Galveston, Texas to help hurricane victims who have yet to fully recover. This year, they are branching out farther and are going to Seattle, Washington. How can you help? These teens need your help in financing their trip.

Mission Discovery Who We Are...

Our Mission To serve Jesus Christ by mobilizing the church to meet the physical and spiritual needs of the world’s poor

Our Staff Mission Discovery utilizes full time and part time staff as well as experienced volunteer staff to provide the best possible mission experience for your group. Senior High and Junior High projects feature great musicians and speakers who can communicate to youth.

Our Funding A portion of the operating expenses at Mission Discovery is generated from our trip fees; however, each year Mission Discovery’s staff raises the additional funds needed to meet financial needs of our organization. Gifts to Mission Discovery are tax deductible. Current financial support comes from friends, churches, fund raising events, and grants. Mission Discovery receives no government funding.

Our History In the past, the mission field was only accessible by a few select people. However, within the last three decades, there has been an explosion of interest in short-term missions. As the world becomes a “Global Village,” thousands of people are responding to the world’s needs. Mission Discovery began in 1991 as an effort to serve Jesus Christ by combining and coordinating mission resources and US churches to meet the physical and spiritual needs of the world’s poor. Since Mission Discovery’s beginning, thousands of students and adults have served the poor and shared the gospel with thousands of people in Mexico, Jamaica, the Bahamas, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Honduras, Guatemala, Africa, and the US (AZ, CO, SD, MS, VA, TX, NV, NY, and TN).

Mission Discovery Teams serve as... LEARNERS—Our teams come to discover what God is doing in the world and get involved. We come by invitation, not invasion. We come not to teach but to learn. SERV ANTS—Our teams come not to be served but to serve in the same way the Lord Jesus Christ came...as a servant and friend. STORY TELLERS—Our teams have the opportunity to tell the story of what Jesus has done and is doing in our lives.

Mission Projects Mission Discovery offers 7-10 day projects to the Bahamas, Swaziland, Jamaica, Guatemala, Haiti, Mexico, Kenya, and the US. Mission Discovery projects are unique. All Mission Discovery projects involve construction of a vitally needed building. Most also include evangelism opportunities. Then, Mission Discovery partners with international churches to insure good follow up of new believers.

Our Statement of Faith We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His Ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. We believe that for salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost. They that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.


Graduating from High School is not automatic these days. We are proud that we have several Class of 2015 Hight School Graduates in our church family. We are putting together a slide-show to celebrate with them in this joyous accomplishment. If your child is a graduate this year, please send any photos and memorable moments to Minister Leroy so that they may be a part of the slideshow. Send your photos to: leroyhargrovejr@yahoo.com


Horizon Worhship Center’s Leadership Retreat

Sometimes it’s refreshing to come together and have a little fun. The leadership of Horizon Worship Center did just that. Although there were times dedicated to teaching and instruction, these leaders let their hair down and enjoyed themselves in the Lord.

These scriptures are the life changing, ever living, God breathed words of God.

2015 is here and already two months are practically gone. So, how are you doing thus far? At the end of 2014, we were reminded about how important it is to finish well. The question now is, how are you starting off the new year. Sometimes quick starts can be derailed with minor setbacks and discouragements. Many of us are inspired with huge ideas and great things we plan to do for God, the kingdom and even ourselves. But as usual, as soon as we get going the oppositon comes. So, what do you do when the momentum you’ve built up to kick start your life for the new year has been stifled, bamboozzled and even halted by Satan, people in your own camp...and by even yourself. Believe it or not, sometimes WE can be our own stumbling blocks. Alot of times, we can stand in the way of our own progress. As Christians, it’s easy to quote scriptures such as, “....greater is He that is in me, then he that is in the world” or “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”. The key to those scriptures is faith and belief in the author of them, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As our faith in Christ grows, we can’t help but to hold onto such scriptures and begin to walk in the truth and ability that they give us. These scriptures are not written just to fill the pages of a fairy tale book. NOOOOO...these scriptures are the life changing, ever living, God breathed words of God. They are used to remind us that when opposition comes, and opposition shall come, we can remind ourselves that we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus, the Spirit of God that dwells in us is greater and more powerful than any other outside force. These scriptures remind us that if Christ be in us, then we can do ALL things through Christ because He is the one who WILL and SHALL strengthen us! As we begin to live these scriputes, and draw from the life and truth that they give, we can revitalize those great ideas and great things we had planned for the kingdom. Furthermore, God will begin to download His wisdom and His knowledge on how to overcome and make moves against ANY and ALL opposition that may come your way. Amen!


I Can do ALL things Through CHRIST who Strengthens me!
