What to Expect

Visiting a New Church Can Feel Overwhelming

We want to make your first Sunday simple, warm, and clear. Hickory Presbyterian Church is a growing community that gathers each week to worship Christ, hear His Word, pray together, and enjoy genuine fellowship.

A Warm Welcome

You will be greeted by people who are genuinely glad you are here. Our church family includes young adults, families, retirees, and children. Whether you have been in church for years or are exploring Christianity for the first time, you are welcome.

Christ Centered Worship

Our service is simple, reverent, and joyful. We sing hymns, read Scripture, confess our faith, pray, and hear the preaching of God’s Word. Everything centers on Jesus Christ.

Biblical Preaching

We walk through books of the Bible verse by verse. Our aim is to exalt Christ, apply the gospel to everyday life, and strengthen believers for the week ahead.

Service Length

Our worship service normally lasts about one hour.

What Should I Wear

Some come in jeans. Some come in dresses or button ups. Wear whatever is comfortable for you. We care far more about you than what you wear.

Families & Children

Children are welcome in the service. We love having little ones with us. Families can sit anywhere they feel comfortable.

Our Story

How We Started

Hickory Presbyterian Church began in February 2025 when a small group gathered in a home for worship, prayer, and fellowship. In God’s kindness, that group has grown into a new Christ centered community in Hickory.

We thank the Lord for His faithfulness and look forward with hope to what He will do among us and through us in Hickory and beyond.
