The Hickory Church of Christ is made up of people. She is
not the buildings we meet in. As such we know we are fallible but we strive
to learn and teach God’s Word as we find it/Him in His revelation, the Bible.
Churches of Christ are non-denominational communities of
Christians. We choose our own leaders and prayerfully make our own decisions
in every area of “family” life including such practical matters as employing
evangelists, supporting missionaries and sharing our treasure with those in
need whether within our church family, in our immediate community, or in
distant places. Because of our independence, one might notice some, hopefully
superficial, differences in worship style when comparing different Churches
of Christ.
We seek to understand and do God's will. We don't claim
that we do so perfectly, and we don't claim to have all the answers. We
simply desire to let the Bible speak and follow it as closely as we can.
While we cannot compromise revealed truth, we recognize that sincere
Christians have differences of opinion about many matters of faith that are
not the core of the “gospel” which is the good news that God loves his
creation so much that he sacrificed his Only Son to reconcile us to Himself.
We value the freedoms we have in Christ to hold these differences in a spirit
of love.
We welcome you
to join us as we seek to discover and execute God's will for our lives! The
call of God knows no racial or economic distinctions. He loves us all and
wants to bless us with His hope, joy, and peace.
