Prayer is more than a crisis response—Scripture presents it as a way of life that shapes how we face our circumstances, recognizing God's goodness and carrying others' needs before Him. In 1 Timothy 2:1–6, Paul calls the church to become a prayer-driven people marked by supplication, thanksgiving and intercession. Prayer Driven People is a three-week journey through these expressions, stepping into the stories of people in Scripture who show us what it looks like to ask boldly, give thanks faithfully and stand in the gap for others.

We begin with Bartimaeus: blind, dependent, sitting beside the road. When he hears Jesus passing by, he shouts, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" The crowd tells him to be quiet, but he cries out louder. When Jesus calls for him, He asks a simple question: "What do you want me to do for you?" Bartimaeus doesn't give a polished answer—just his honest, specific need: "Rabbi, I want to see." That's supplication: bringing our need to Jesus without pretense, trusting He's the One worth calling out to.

Chris Morgan, Pastoral Intern, will be preaching in the Auditorium for the Contemporary Worship services; Trevor Miller, Faith Formation Pastor, will be preaching in the Sanctuary for the Traditional Worship services.

For those worshiping remotely, you're invited to watch our services online, on Facebook and YouTube.



Prayer & Healing Service

As part of our regular services on September 27, we will have Prayer and Healing services in the Auditorium and Sanctuary. We will have a time for you to come to stations set up across the rooms and voice your prayer requests to one of our prayer team members, who will pray over you. Make plans to attend one of these powerful services on September 27.

Membership Class

Whether you are seeking information about the church or are ready to join, you are invited to attend our Membership Class this Sunday from 3–5 PM in Room 861. Those who wish to join the church will have that opportunity at the end of the class, and those who are not ready yet can return to a future class for additional information and/or to join.

Baptism Class

Our Baptism Class for all ages is happening this Sunday at 5 PM in Room 861. As Global Methodists, we believe baptism is an outward sign of the inward work God is doing in our lives, and because His work is perfect, we practice one baptism. If you or your child has never been baptized, or if you’d like to learn more, we’d love to have you join us. After attending the class, you can choose from one of our upcoming in-service baptism dates. This class covers both sprinkling and immersion. Register now at mthorebchurch.org/baptism or through the Mt. Horeb app. 

West Campus Interest Meeting

Mt. Horeb is preparing for an exciting next step: launching our West Campus to grow our mission of making, maturing and mobilizing disciples who magnify Jesus in the Gilbert and Batesburg-Leesville communities. Join us for our West Campus Interest Meeting next Monday, September 14, from 6:30 to 7:30 PM in Kersey Chapel, where we’ll share where we’re headed, why we believe God is leading us there and how you can help launch this new campus.

Fall Men's Event

Men, mark your calendars for our Fall Men’s Event. On Tuesday, September 22 from 6–8 PM, we’re welcoming Inky Johnson, one of the most sought-after speakers in the world. Inky was a top-thirty NFL draft prospect out of Tennessee before a career-ending injury paralyzed his right arm. Since then, he’s dedicated his life to helping others find purpose through adversity. Come hungry, we’re serving up a southern-style feast. The cost is $20, and it’s a night for every guy, whatever stage of faith you’re in. Bring a friend. Click here to register.

Sisterhood Reset

Are you feeling out of sync, spiritually weary or simply in need of a break from life's constant demands? Join us for a refreshing day of worship, fellowship and renewal at our Women's Reset Retreat on Saturday, October 17, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM in the Student Room. Designed for women of all ages, this interactive one-day retreat is a chance to reconnect with God, build meaningful relationships and be encouraged in your faith journey.

The day includes heartfelt worship, fellowship and an inspiring message from our mission partner, Lighthouse for Life, a faith-based organization working on the frontlines against human trafficking in South Carolina. They'll share insights about their ministry, stories of hope and ways we can make a difference together. You'll also take part in meaningful discussions on practical, life-changing truths, plus activities that connect women across generations. During our time together, you'll have the chance to support the women served by Lighthouse for Life by purchasing Uber rides for them. A light breakfast and lunch are included.

Come be renewed, equipped and reminded of your unique and irreplaceable place in God's family and His story. We can't wait to share this day with you.

Space is limited to keep this day personal and impactful, so don't wait! The cost is $20. Click here to register.

Registration opens Sunday, September 27, so mark your calendars and get ready to jump in.
