The purpose of Hickory Creek Community Church is to glorify God by
fulfilling the commission given by him as recorded in Matthew 28:19-
20. More specifically, we seek to build fully devoted followers of
Christ, who are worshiping and growing in their relationship with
Christ, fellowshipping with and ministering to the people of Christ,
and reaching out in love to those who don’t know Christ. This is
expressed in our motto to Love God! ...Love People! ...Live it out!
We seek to fulfill our purpose by the following:

a. Discipleship – We will teach those in the church the
fundamental truths of Scripture so they can be equipped for every
good work (2 Timothy 3:16).

b. Worship – We will provide the means for developing and
expressing meaningful worship in prayer, songs of praise, adoration,
admonishment, singing and making melody in our hearts to the Lord,
and to administer the ordinances of baptism and the Lord's supper
(Hebrews 13:15; Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16; 1 Corinthians 11:23-34;
Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:42).

c. Fellowship – We will encourage and provide means of
developing meaningful relationships among believers (expressions of
sharing and caring for, and loving one another, warning, stimulating,
and encouraging one another to love and good deeds (Hebrews 10:24-
25; 13:1-2; Acts 2:42-47)).

d. Ministry – We will provide the means for developing and
exercising spiritual gifts for the edification of the body (Romans 12:3-
8; I Peter 4:10-11).

e. Evangelism – We will train and encourage people to reach out
to those around them in action and word so opportunities may be had
to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ to those who have never received
Him.
