On Mission
At Hickory Grove, we desire for all of our members to join in the Discipleship Pathway, the fourth and final step being living On Mission. We desire that all of our church members should be disciples of Christ, but also living with Gospel intentionality with our neighbors, our nation, and the nations.
This October, we have two opportunities for you to be On Mission.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12 - WEEKEND ON MISSION
This Saturday, we will come together as a church to be On Mission to our neighbors. We will have two different opportunities: Serving our Neighbors and Reaching our Neighbors.

The day will kick off with a training rally at 9 AM, where you will receive practical tips and instructions for going door-to-door in the neighborhoods. Breakfast will be available for all attendees. After the training, we will split into small teams and head to the assigned neighborhoods. We anticipate completing the activity by noon.
