Mission Statement: Christian Horizons is not a counselling agency, but rather a developmental service agency. Our mission statement is “Serving the person with exceptional needs”. Our value statement is “We will honour God and value people in all we do and with all our resources.”

Formed in 1965, Christian Horizons is an evangelical ministry that seeks to provide supports and frienship to persons who have developmental challenges. Our purpose is to contribute to a person’s life quality (emotionally, intellectually, physically, socially and spiritually) for maximum fulfillment in this life and preparation for the life to come.
