  • To Love Boldly is not empty sentiment. It is a Spirit-empowered way of life that forms disciples of Jesus Christ who seek the loving, just, and free world God imagines for all people.

    Rooted in the Great Commandment, Love Boldly is the through-line that holds together everything we are called to do and be as the Horizon Texas Conference. Jesus calls us to love God with everything we have and to love our neighbors as ourselves.

    That kind of love risks. It stretches. It moves beyond comfort and maintenance and returns us, again and again, to the love that once set our hearts on fire.

    At Annual Conference 2026, we will practice that love together. Join us in Wichita Falls, May 31–June 3, as we gather to be strengthened, equipped, and sent boldly into the world God loves.

  • Format: (000) 000-0000.
    • DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION 
    • This demographic information helps the Horizon Texas Conference report annual conference representation to the General Commission on the Status and Role of Women. The goal of collecting this information is to support the conference, its members, and its leaders in creating the most inclusive sessions possible, one where every voice is respected and given the opportunity to be heard. These reports help increase awareness of how we engage with one another and encourage intentional efforts to include all voices equitably in our discussions.
