Recent widow w/ middle school and high school age kids relocating to Hickory area. This is a complete startover. I'm interested in affordable rentals, a good church, good football team w/ great coaches. A strong Christian community is essential. Currently a regional mgr w/ a major nonprofit organization. Graduate level education. Seeking to change career fields. Open to suggestions and info regarding the area. I am basically looking for a safe, tight knit yet open community for my family to be established and grow.
My husband and I are also looking to move to the hickory area, but we too believe finding a strong Christian community is crucial. We have been looking in the western NC area for a few months and started talking about Hickory recently. We are in Baton Rouge, LA and yesterday when I was looking up Woodlawn Baptist Church here in BR, somehow a website came up for Woodlawn Baptist Church in Conover, NC. I thought it was too much to be a coincidence and looked up Conover on the map and found it is right next to Hickory! Needless to say, we are now looking more closely at this particular area. Best of luck to you and your family. Who knows...maybe we will end up being part of the same church family!
