The Event

The Evening Celebration takes place each evening, Saturday through to Friday, commencing at 19:30 and finishing at approximately 21:15. The style of the programme is inspirational and celebratory and consists of worship, Bible teaching, interviews and profiles of mission across the world. The Bible Teaching takes place each morning, Monday to Friday, commencing at 10:00 and finishing at 11:00. Both these events are held in a 3,000 seater marquee on the edge of the University campus.

The youth programme is offered for the benefit of children whose parents are on campus attending the Bible Teaching, Seminar or Evening Celebration. New Horizon has always seen working with young people as a vital and rewarding part of the week. Different programmes are geared to appropriate ages and cover from Crèche through to 18 years of age. Training is undertaken by everyone supervising or with involvement in any part of the Youth Programme and all such are Access NI checked. Prior registration for these activities is essential, although some spaces may be available during the course of the week. There is a registration charge for these activities.

Monday to Friday 11:45 to 12:45. A space to be led by expert speakers and facilitators to explore specific issues in depth through a variety of approaches. The aim is to challenge our minds and hearts, equip us to serve God in all of life and connect us with one another for His glory.

We have an experienced Prayer Team during the week of New Horizon who will be prepared to spend time with you in prayer for whatever is on your heart – whether it is an issue which is burdening you or something you feel the Lord is saying to you at New Horizon. Anything you share will be treated in confidence. Should you need extra help with something, then our team will be happy to find you a professional counsellor – appointments are available during the week of New Horizon as well as after the Event.

New Horizon relies on nearly 400 volunteers each year to ensure the event runs smoothly. If you would like to join one of our teams and are aged 18 or over contact us through the website. There is a range of opportunities from helping prepare the site, stewarding, general support, youth and children’s work, prayer and pastoral support.

Mission is an integral part of New Horizon. Each year we have an extensive Mission Resources Area which is brought together by over 30 organisations, presenting the opportunities and needs of mission.
