Horizon Baptist Church has a long history in Fort Bend County.
First founded as Bellaire West Baptist Church, it became Heritage Baptist Church when leaders bought land and moved it to Missouri City about 20 years ago, according to Cindy Reaves, the churchâs communications director.
At its height, the church drew more than 300 congregants to a Sunday service, said John Strader, the churchâs senior pastor. But in recent years, those numbers have been closer to 100 people.
Having attended the church during its heyday, Strader took over as senior pastor in 2019 and got to work trying to understand what had happened.
