Who We Are – Christian Leadership and Seminary School Studies
Horizon is a unique Christian leadership college and seminary school that offers a unique Christian leadership solution.
Did you know that…
- 25% of all Canadians will be senior citizens by 2031?
- the average age of evangelical Christian leaders is 56?
- 2/3 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.
Our Mission
Horizon College & Seminary school exists to advance God’s Kingdom by preparing competent Christian leaders for Spirit-empowered life and ministry.
Our Vision
Our vision is to set the industry standard for what we do: prepare competent Christian leaders.
We do this in four distinct ways:
2. We facilitate unprecedented multi-denominational training.
Horizon is uniquely a multi-denominational college. Unlike non-denominational or trans-denominational institutions that ignore denominational distinctives, Horizon preserves what’s special about different denominations by inviting partners to design their own programs to prepare their own students to serve in specific denominational contexts. It is beautifully collaborative, where much of our programming is common to all, but there is space for denominational distinctiveness.
3. We operate from a state-of-the-art leadership facility.
In January 2021 Horizon moved to a brand-new facility on Attridge Drive in Saskatoon. The move desirably situates Horizon between bustling urban amenities and a quiet residential neighbourhood in beautiful Saskatoon. The move also allows us to invest in the latest educational technology and to operate with a sustainable business model.
4. We establish strategically placed multi-site learning hubs.
For many students, relocating to Saskatoon is impossible. Our move and advances in technology will help us establish learning hubs at both urban and rural locations across the prairies, and beyond!
Our Values
Our staff believes passionately in what we do and why we do it. As we aim to do it well, we embrace these four core values:
Our People
