Welcome!

We’re thrilled you’re here! At Hickory Bible Church, we want each guest to experience the loving hospitality of Jesus Christ. To help you feel more comfortable, we’ve gathered what we believe to be helpful information and what to expect as you plan your visit below. But before you scroll one stroke forward, welcome. It’s good to have you here, friend.

 FAQs

  • We have 2 identical worship services at 9:00 & 11:00 am.

  • On Sunday mornings our ultimate goal is to exalt Jesus Christ in song, prayer, scripture reading, and expository preaching. We also worship through the giving of our tithes and offerings; and though guests are welcome to participate in giving, please do not feel obligated to do so. The ordinance of Communion is open to all believers and is observed the first Sunday of each month.

    To get a feel for preaching style, we invite you to check out some sermons on our website.

  • These days, safety seems to be on everyone’s radar. We have a highly trained security team on campus. Though they will blend in with all the other worshipers, these men and women stay vigilant throughout the morning to maintain our security.

    The team patrols our entire campus and parking lot, with special attention always given to the protection of our children.

  • Our worship services are pretty casual. Some people prefer to dress up, while many others wear jeans and a t-shirt. Even our preachers mix it up a bit. One Sunday you may find the preacher in a suit and tie; the next Sunday he may wear jeans and a casual shirt.

    We believe that God cares much more about the condition of our hearts than our external appearance. Feel free to dress however you feel comfortable.

  • When you drive onto our campus, you’ll be greeted by our Parking Attendant. Please let him/her know you are a guest, and if you have children who will participate in our HBC Kids, so they can direct you to the best parking section.

    If you have children, it is most convenient to park on the south side of campus behind the building, and enter through the back gate that leads to our courtyard.

    As you enter our doors, you will be welcomed with a smile and a “Good morning” by one of our Greeters. Since our team is always on the lookout for new faces, he/she will likely ask if you are a guest. (And if they don’t, please let them know you are visiting us!) Our Greeter will introduce himself/herself and of course will want to know about you. They will then direct you to the area where you wish to worship, or to the children’s department. 

    Before worship, we invite you to take time to visit the Connect Desk. We have a small gift for you, and our friendly, knowledgeable folks can give you more information about our church and answer any questions you have.

A Guide to the HBC Campus
