We Welcome YOU to Hitchcock Presbyterian Church!
It's nice to meet you.
We are happy to be able to welcome you once again into our beautiful Sanctuary.
If you are planning to visit for the first time, please find some helpful information below.
SUNDAY WORSHIP
All are welcome to attend in person or virtually on Sunday mornings for worship at 10:30 AM from September through June. During the summer, from the latter part of June through the beginning of September the worship service begins at 10:00 AM.
Worship consists of scripture readings, prayers, the sermon, singing songs of faith, and other forms of liturgy and music. At Hitchcock we have been blessed with a long-standing tradition of musical excellence. Music is central to the worship experience and from the youngest voices to the oldest, our music ministry engages us all to "make a joyful noise to the Lord." We also celebrate communion once a month and the sacrament of baptism as requested.
