Hickory Neck Episcopal Church

About this church

Hickory Neck Episcopal Church worships at 8300 Richmond Road in Toano with two Sunday celebrations of Holy Eucharist. The 8:00 a.m. Rite I service meets in the Historic Chapel, while the 10:00 Rite II service meets in the New Chapel and is livestreamed on the church website and YouTube. Music at the parish draws from The Hymnal 1982 along with praise and Taizé selections. The welcome is deliberately practical about clothing: visitors may see suits, jeans, or T-shirts and are encouraged to come in whatever makes them comfortable.

The congregation describes worship as joyous across the church year, from regular Sundays to Christmas and the Great Vigil of Easter. Children and youth are treated as participants in parish life, with formation, fellowship, and service opportunities published for different ages. Hickory Neck's mission emphasizes following Jesus, welcoming all people, and serving the wider community, while its worship ministries give members roles as readers, acolytes, ushers, musicians, altar-guild members, and livestream volunteers. A first visit therefore offers a meaningful choice between a quiet, traditional-language Eucharist in the smaller historic space and a later, music-supported contemporary-language liturgy with online access. Both belong to the same Episcopal community and sacramental pattern.
