Pastor Alex Hanevich graduated from Tennessee Temple University in 2006. In 2015, Alex and his wife, Darby, moved to Bryn Mawr Pennsylvania and started a church in the suburbs of Philadelphia. In 2018, they launched the first weekly service on April 1. Their goal for Horizon Church is to build relationships with people far from God and introduce them to Jesus. They believe our world would be better if people lived and loved like Jesus. People don't change because of religious talks, but through authentic, open, and non-judgmental relationships.
