Statesville, NC – Horizon Church at 316 Signal Hill Drive will be hosting their annual Soup-er Bowl Sunday Soup & Chili Cook-off, following the 10:00 am worship service on Sunday, February 8th, 2026. The public is invited to attend service and to participate in the cook-off.
“The Super Bowl is on nearly everyone’s calendar and for most people, it is an exciting cultural and community affair,” says Jason Bost, co-pastor at Horizon Church. He continues, “Horizon is a church that wants to be engaged in whatever is on the minds of the community, and we are using this somewhat unconventional event to do just that! Our goal is to enjoy some good food & fellowship while showing everyone the love of Christ through this event and the other ministries of Horizon Church.”
To enter the cook-off, bring a Crockpot of your Soup or Chili to the morning service. All in attendance will get a ticket to use in voting for their favorite submission. Local businesses donating prizes to be awarded include; Chili’s, Pla Mor Lanes Bowling, McDonalds, Victory Lanes Entertainment Center, Sport Clips Haircuts, and others.
“Our Horizon Church tagline is “a place for new beginnings”. Hopefully this event will attract some folks who don’t normally go to church, but may be open to attending an event like this,” said Charles Williams, co-pastor at Horizon Church.
Super Bowl LX, the 60th edition of the Super Bowl, is scheduled to be played at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California to determine the champion for the 2025 season. The game kickoff is at 6:30 pm EST on February 8, 2026 and will be televised live on NBC.
