Pastor Scott

Pastor Scott Kircher started at Hickory Creek Community Church as our Interim Pastor in October, 2004.  During his tenure as Interim Pastor, God began revitalizing Hickory Creek Community Church and the church decided to call Scott as their permanent Senior Pastor in March of 2005.   

Scott sensed God’s call into full-time Pastoral ministry in the fall of 2000.   Scott was working as a financial futures broker for a bank at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange at that time.  Scott had been involved in various leadership positions within the church for years but sensed God calling him to greater service and commitment.  He began working toward his seminary degree and entered into the Gospel Ministry as a pastor in January of 2001.  Scott continued to work outside the church, but in April of 2002, the bank Scott was working for completed a merger and Scott joined the new bank.  Soon after joining the new bank, Scott felt like he needed to trust the Lord and he left his job and volunteered full-time as an Associate Pastor at the church he was at.  He did this for 9 months while continuing his seminary program.  In January of 2003, he was brought onto the full-time paid staff of his church.  As Scott neared the end of his seminary training in 2004, he sensed it was time to trust the
Lord and he accepted the call to be Interim Pastor of Hickory Creek
Community Church.  He completed his Masters of Arts in Religion in
January 2005 and accepted the call from Hickory Creek Community
Church as their full-time Senior Pastor in March of 2005.

Scott has been married to his wife Laura since 1989 and they have 3
wonderful kids: Jason, Adam, & Melanie.  Laura is also an active part of the ministry helping lead the PowerZone kids ministry as well as being involved with our Impact ministry and helping organize special events for the church.  Both Scott and Laura are excited to be a part of Hickory Creek and they look forward to God’s continued work in the church and through His people.
