Who We Are: Leadership

We are a group of dedicated individuals passionate about serving the Lord.

We as Christians believe that God is alive and well and active in our day-to-day lives through the power of the Holy Spirit. Our faith is rooted in the Word of God (the Holy Scriptures), in the historic creeds of Christendom, and in the witness of men and women throughout all ages. We believe that prayer …

Mission & Values

Our purpose is to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ. We pursue this purpose as we pray and worship, proclaim the Gospel, and promote justice, peace, and love. We carry out our purpose through the ministry of all our members.

Our Story

Hickory Neck traces its roots to 1734, but lives in the present. Our historic church, built in 1774, is still in active use; however, much of our spiritual life emanates from our new church, dedicated in 2006.

The Episcopal Church

We Episcopalians believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe that God loves you – no exceptions.

Joining Hickory Neck Church

“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”

2 Corinthians 9:7-8

Hickory Neck parishioners pledge to the General Fund which supports our annual operating budget. Our annual operating budget allows us to provide weekly worship, education, fellowship, pastoral care, and outreach to our community on a weekly basis. This weekly offering can only happen when we financially support the costs of administration, buildings and grounds maintenance, supplies, and salaries. We at Hickory Neck Church support working toward tithing, so the annual budget can be fully funded, providing support for our growing, thriving congregation.

Stewardship is about being grateful, responsible stewards of the gifts we receive from God. The tradition of giving back to God and to the church comes from the Biblical practice of “tithing,” which means to give back a tenth of our earnings to God (Numbers 18:26). The Episcopal Church sees stewardship as more than simply contributing money to the church; it’s also about contributing time and talents and volunteering for ministry and mission. It’s about reaching out to build relationships from a perspective of abundance instead of scarcity.

In addition to supporting the general operating budget and ministries, there are other ways to contribute to Hickory Neck so that future generations can enjoy the blessing of our property and facilities. Check out the various funds that you can support.
