Parish Life

Coffee Hour

Everyone enjoys a hot cup of coffee or tea and a little snack after the 9:00 a.m. Sunday service. It's a great time to get to know each other better.

Light refreshments are provided each celebration Sunday (the lst Sunday of each month) when we recognize birthdays and anniversaries for the month.

Newcomers

The purpose of the Newcomers ministry is to welcome visitors to Hickory Neck Church who may be searching for a church home and to inform visitors of the mission and ministry of Hickory Neck Church, as well as how they can become a part of our church family.

Welcoming newcomers involves many activities, including Sunday Greeters, visitor cards, Newcomers' Welcome Bags, and Sweet Bread Bakes.

Buildings & Grounds

Hickory Neck is blessed to have three lovely buildings located on a 12 acre campus. We are fortunate to have many parishioners who willingly give of their time to keep the grounds beautiful and our buildings safe and in good condition. Several times each year the grounds are spruced up and flowers are planted. On a daily basis parishioners can be seen setting up tables, changing light bulbs, or pulling weeds. If you feel God is calling you to help with this ministry, please contact one of the coordinators for more information on how you can help out.
