Welcome.... This Ministry provides services to infants and toddlers during Sunday morning worship services. Our Nursery age children here at Hickory Creek are very important to us. They are the future of Hickory Creek Church.
We believe Little Sparks Nursery is.........Where the beginning "sparks" of a relationship with Jesus are established"
Our mission is taken from the words of Jesus, "Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes Me" (Mark 9:37). We want to serve Jesus as we welcome your little ones in His name. We want to serve these little ones, knowing that nursery is likely to be their first experience of the love of Go through the body of Christ. We want to serve you, the parents, by giving you the opportunity to worship with the freedom of knowing that your children are being well–cared for.
Nursery Volunteers-
The nursery is staffed by loving and responsible parents and volunteers who regularly attend Hickory Creek
Community Church. We believe it is an important responsibility to make sure each child is well cared for.
Arrivals-
Upon arrival at our nursery, A Volunteer will greet you and assist you with signing your child into our care.
Please be sure to note any information that will help us care for your child, including allergies or other special
needs.
Name Tags-
We provide name tags for each child and for their belongings. Each tag has up your child’s name on it and their
assigned number. If they have an allergy it will be posted on the name tag also.
Health-
In order to maintain a healthy nursery, we require that children who are ill or have been ill within the past 24
hours remain out of the church nursery. Qualifying illnesses include: fever, excessive (or colored) runny nose,
rash, cough, flu, diarrhea, or a contagious childhood disease.
Cleanliness-
Each week the Nursery is vacuumed and cleaned. Tables are washed down with antibacterial cleaner and the toys are
sanitized.
Activities-
Our activities range from coloring, story time, small crafts, and singing nursery songs. If the weather is nice we
will take the children outside to play on the church swing set.
Curriculum-
Each week we have a short Bible lesson with the 2 and 3 year olds.
Snacks-
Snacks and juice boxes will be provided weekly. If your child has any allergies please notify one of the teachers
and we will provide a substitute for him or her.
If at anytime during the service your child or volunteer needs you, the number you were assigned to at registration will display on the screen in the sanctuary. If you see your number displayed please come back to the nursery and a volunteer will greet you.



The gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ’s life, death and resurrection, changes everything. It not only incorporates us into the family of God, but it turns us into completely new creations in Christ (2 Cor. 5:17), and it is the all-encompassing center and heart of the life Jesus has called us to. In other words, the gospel is extremely powerful, which is why our Power Zone Kids Ministry is centered on that powerful message.
AS A MINISTRY, OUR DESIRE IS TO SEE THE CHILDREN PLACED IN OUR CARE:
WE STRIVE TO SEE THAT DESIRE REALIZED BY:
A SUNDAY IN THE POWER ZONE
Each Sunday in the Power Zone begins with all of the children, 4yrs old through
5th grade, gathering together for a time of worship through music, teaching, and prayer.
After this time of joint worship, children are dismissed to their classrooms, where they are taught an
age-appropriate, Bible-centered lesson.

SAFETY & SECURITY
In addition to helping your child grow in his or her faith, we are committed to providing a safe and secure environment for your child to learn in. Parents are given a “Pick-up/Drop-off” card. As a security measure, whoever is responsible for picking up your child must return this card to your child’s teacher before they are released. Also, if assistance is needed with your child at any point during the service, the number in the top left corner of your card will appear on the projection screen in the sanctuary, alerting you to come to the children’s ministry area.
QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, OR CONCERNS
The Power Zone Kids Ministry exists to glorify God by serving parents and children, and we count it a privilege that you would allow us to participate in the spiritual formation of your child. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to talk to Pastor Andy or to contact him during the week.

As a church, we value kids of all ages and desire to help disciple the youth of our church and community into a solid generation of Christ followers. The heartbeat of Hickory Creek’s Student Ministry is Thursday Nights. Both Impact, our Jr. High Youth Group (6th-8th grades), and TBD, our Sr. High Youth Group (9th-12th grades) meet for an evening of interaction, excitement, prayer, and time in God’s Word. We also have various activities throughout the year to help foster friendships, reach unbelievers, and grow our students in their faith.

STUDENT MINISTRIES MISSION STATEMENT
The purpose of the Hickory Creek Community Church Student Ministries is to glorify God by doing our part to fulfill the Great Commission of Matthew 28:19-20 and to model the practices of the church in Acts 2:41-47. At the heart of each of these biblical passages are evangelism and discipleship, which we summarize in the motto “Go Wide, Grow Deep.”
STUDENT MINISTRY CORE VALUES
In addition to and as a part of Going Wide (evangelism) and Growing Deep (discipleship), we adopt these as core values.

Ladies Weekly Bible Study Series
Ladies, join us for a bible study! We will be studying When Godly People Do Ungodly Things by Beth Moore. This 7 week study will be held every Tuesday evening from 6:45 to 8:45pm starting February 7th. No childcare will be available for this event. The approximate cost of the book is $13. Signups are available in the foyer area of the church or e-mail Laura Kircher at laura@hickorycreekchurch.org.
When Godly People Do Ungodly Things:
Arming Yourself in the Age of Seduction by Beth Moore examines why devoted followers of Christ can fall into the traps of Satan. Believers are still subject to Satan's attacks. He is determined to disrupt the lives of Christians, destroy their ministry, and steal their joy. Sadly, those who have "fallen" may not recognize the devil's schemes until they have already been caught in a snare of defeat. As a renowned teacher and seminar leader, Beth Moore receives countless letters from repentant Christians who are limping along this road. Out of her genuine, broken-hearted concern comes this biblical guide to authentic repentance and restoration.
This seven-week study is written in three parts. The first part is a warning to believers, while the second part shows women how to prepare for attacks by the Enemy. The third part is directed to those who have been snared by seduction, and compassionately points the way back to God. With 1 Samuel 12:20–25 as a guide, Christians can arm themselves against temptation and learn how to help other fallen believers.
The Member Book includes personal interactive study five days a week plus viewer guides for the group video sessions.
