If you meet in person at the building for worship, come a little early to check-in and we ask that everyone respect and follow the Social Distancing guidelines. Everyone is asked to wear a mask coming in and leaving the Worship Center. Sit in the Mask Section if you plan to wear your mask throughout the service or sit in the unmask section if you want to remove your mask when you are seated. See the below guidelines for our In-Person Bible Classes:

In-Person Class Guidelines

Because we are serious about protecting your health as much as possible, we ask that you follow these guidelines to ensure the safety of all attendees.

If these guidelines are not followed, we will not be able to continue with

in-person classes.

1.  Masks are expected to be worn as you go to your classes.

2. Masks MUST be worn during class.

3. Everyone use hand sanitizer upon entering and exiting the classroom.

4. Teachers must wear masks/face shields while they teach.

5. Everyone will be checked into the class for a record of attendance.

6. If a class member tests positive for COVID-19, the class will not meet for two weeks.

When you pull into our parking lot, you will find designated parking for our guests on the right side of the building, conveniently located just outside our main entrance. Come to the front doors and our greeters will meet and assist you.

Come as you are. You will find a range of dress styles from school clothing to an occasional sport jacket and dresses. So come dressed comfortably; you will fit right in.

Our worship is acapella, meaning our entire congregation sings together without instruments. It’s one of our traditions that we think you will find very powerful. We serve communion every week and invite all believers to participate. As a church family, we contribute financially during worship. We do not expect our guests to make a donation. Every Sunday, one of our ministers will deliver a Bible-based, practical sermon.

We offer nursery for children 0-23 months during our worship and Bible classes. 

We also offer a special children's worship experience for 2 years old through PreK. You will begin by taking your children with you to worship. About mid-way through, just after communion and prior to the Bible lesson, your children will be given the opportunity to be checked into 2's Time or Wee Ones Worship. We will assist you in the transition.

During the Bible class which follows worship, your child will enjoy a wonderful, age appropriate Bible class while you meet with your peers in your Bible class. We strive to make sure our children and youth classes are safe environments. Our teachers of minors are child safety certified and have completed background checks. We provide coffee in our adult classes and we would love for you to stay and allow us an opportunity to meet you. 

When we speak of “placing membership,” that simply means that as a baptized disciple of Christ, you are choosing to make Burnt Hickory your church home and be involved in its work. Ideally, that means that you will attend worship, be part of one of our small groups, discipleship groups, and be involved in one of our ministries.

The first step is to attend Starting Point. This quarterly information session is hosted by our lead minister, and is where you can get your questions answered. There is no obligation if you come, but we will explain our mission and vision and the process for placing membership. 

To place membership, please click the link to complete and submit a BH Personal Profile form.

If you have not yet been baptized, please contact one of our ministers so that we can help you discover what the Bible says about this step in your spiritual journey.
