He assumed a pivotal role as the organizing pastor of a church plant in Myrtle Beach, SC. In June 2019, Rev. Horne and his family relocated to Andrews, SC, following his acceptance of the call to pastor Andrews PCA. He finished his Doctor of Ministry degree in 2024 from Birmingham Theological Seminary, Birmingham, AL, of which his dissertation is titled, "The Impact of the Contribution of Biblical Counseling within a Contextualization Model of a Developing Church Revitalization or Church Planting Work: A Paradigm from Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians."
