About Hickory Grove Baptist Church

We are seeking a full-time worship minister to lead a community-focused, growing, multi-generational church in the ever-growing city of Independence, KY. Independence is the third largest city in Kentucky by land mass, located in the northern region of the state just 20 minutes south of Cincinnati. Hickory Grove has a long history of doing whatever it takes to reach its community with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are so blessed to have a 43-acre campus located in a well-traveled part of south Kenton County. Due to recent growth, we are making plans to build a new worship center on our campus. We have a strong ministry to preschoolers, elementary age kids, and youth grades 6-12. We are a multi-generational church with lots of infants all the way up to wonderful senior adults who have supported our mission to “Bless NKY & Build God’s Family” for decades. Our new worship minister will have the opportunity to lead multiple generations into the presence of God each week, people who are curious about Jesus, people who are new in their walk with Jesus, and people who have been on their faith journey for a long time.  Our worship is modern with some acoustical accents and respect for tradition.  We use a mild to moderate amount of production and place a huge emphasis on engagement.  We are a church who simply wants to gather together as a family and be engaged by those on the platform to look to Jesus and take a next step with Him.
