“For 250 years, since 1776, a quarter Millennium, under the same charter of Independence, Wow! No other nation ‘in history’ has accomplished this and is clearly an achievement that is worth recognizing. Not the least of which is that in this Declaration of Independence are many evidences of God being the source of deliverance for these United States. God bless these United States of America!” says Jason Bost, co-pastor at Horizon Church. He continues, “The annual Independence Celebration our church hosts this year, gives us an opportunity to celebrate 250 years of American Independence and the freedoms we enjoy, both in our nation and through our faith.” Pastor Bost concludes, “We’re grateful for the generous support of our Statesville residents, vendor partners, and the wonderful tenant mix at our complex, which empowers our church to be a beacon of hope in our community. Our goal is to show the love of Christ through this event and the other ministries of Horizon Church… as our tagline says, it is truly ‘A Place For New Beginnings.’”
