New Horizon Christian Fellowship will celebrate 25 years of serving the community at the 10:30 a.m. regular service on Sunday, Nov. 15, at Auten Road Intermediate School, Hillsborough. A luncheon will immediately follow.

“Of course, there is always an open invitation every Sunday for anyone to join us for church,” said Rev. Wolf.
In the late 1980s, the Assemblies of God started to plant new churches in areas of New Jersey that had few or no Pentecostal churches. In 1990, Rev. Thomas Fisher began the process of starting a new church in Hillsborough.
In August 1990 a small group of people met for a picnic and prayed about being part of this new church. On Sept. 2, 1990, a core group of people began meeting and on Nov. 18, 1990, New Horizon Christian Fellowship held its first official service. Twenty-five years later, New Horizon Christian Fellowship is still serving the people of Hillsborough and the surrounding communities.
Rev. Fisher retired in 2004 and Rev. Tim Wolf assumed the pastorate in June of that year. Many people have been part of and been helped by the ministries of New Horizon. In addition to the Sunday morning service, the church currently has children’s church during the service for 3- to 12-year-olds, mid-week Bible studies for men and women, and community engagement.
After more than two decades of cultural and political shifts, New Horizon Christian Fellowship carries on the goal of glorifying God by serving people, said Rev. Wolf.
“We continue in the tradition of contemporary worship, biblical teaching, and real-life application,” he said.
