Mission Statement

We believe in the holy mystery of salvation, new life through Jesus Christ, and God’s gift of grace. Together, with our diverse Christian community, we share the belief of God’s redemptive love for all, without reservation, through the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. 

Core Values

At Hickory Grove United Methodist Church, we support these beliefs in the following ways:

Nurturing 
We serve our Triune God through our prayers, our presence, our gifts, our service, and our witness. We live and serve in this community of faith, as an extension of God’s nurturing grace and love. We live this out through hosting community events, sports ministries, congregational care for all ages, and gathering for fellowship with one another. 

Reaching Out and Serving  
We seek to live out 1 Peter 4: 10-11 - 10, which says “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.” These ministries include serving neighbors of all ages and our community, especially those experiencing food insecurity, homelessness, incarceration, and poverty. While crossing borders and boundaries with Jesus, we seek to serve all.

Growing in Christian Faith 
We are a diverse community of faith and are joined in the belief that worship is central to our life. On Sundays, we worship in four different ways: Traditional (English), Contemporary (English), African (English), and Contemporary Latino (Espanol). In addition to worship, we support spiritual growth through Christian education, which includes both in-person and virtual weekly small group studies, Sunday School for all ages, and Bible Studies.
