KIDS & YOUTH Ministries

Come and be known.

Whoever you are, wherever you're from, you are welcome here.

Welcome to the Hickory Student Ministry! We are redefining what student ministry looks like by creating more than a fun place to hang out. We are building a ministry that helps students ask questions and make discoveries about the God who created them, who loves them and who is calling them to greater things!

Please help us gather needed supplies by donating through our Amazon wishlist here:  https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist  OR by visiting the bulletin board next to the office and taking a paper lion and donating/lending us the requested items.  Please return items with the paper lion attached. Borrowed items will be returned once VBS has ended.  Closer to the start of VBS we will have new paper lions on the bulletin board with food donations that are needed.  
We thank you in advance for your generosity!

Also keep your eyes peeled for upcoming "VBS Paint Nights" to be scheduled soon.  These will be nights where you can volunteer your time to help us paint and craft some of the decorations that will be used during VBS.  This is an activity that the whole family can get involved in and have fun creating together!
