Hickory United Presbyterian Church like many churches runs on a system of committees working in concert with one another but with different specific focuses. What you see listed here is a list of our committees and their functions. Our hope is you would not just find greater understanding of our church but also see an opportunity where you can see yourself serving. Each committee has members but have three serving Elders that report back to the session (the churches governing body) on a monthly basis (which is also the same time each committee meets). Each committee is always open to committed volunteers looking to serve.
