Meet the HCM Family
Because we are a “Family” and not just members of an organization or social club , we would like for you to meet some of our family - too many to meet everyone (we will periodically rotate those listed below). We have fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, uncles, aunts, cousins, grandparents, and so on and so on……
Because we understand that we (HCM) are only a small part of the larger BODY OF CHRIST and that only JESUS the CHRIST is the FOUNDER and HEAD of the BODY – HIS CHURCH, then our place is under HIM and we are connected to others outside of our immediate or extended family.
That being said, the patriarch/head of this part of the Body is George W. Hawkins, Jr. whose primary gift to the Body is to serve as our Senior Pastor. He is joined in this ministry by his wife, Sharlene W. Hawkins, who serves the Body as First Lady of HCM, Associate Pastor and Front line Warrior in prayer and worship. They also are privileged to parent George (Will) Hawkins, III. Now understand, we could have chosen to describe our HCM First Family as the awesome, dynamic, exciting, motivating leaders that they are, but we chose to simply say they are down to earth, humble, available, touchy feely, keeping it real folks who are making an impact on this generation for the KINGDOM of GOD.
So let’s meet some of the HCM family:
The below family is not listed or organized in order of position, title or importance but to keep it simple we are introducing them alphabetically by last names. We just like to keep it flat and real……

5. What do you like the most about HCM? Wow. Where do I begin.. I love the First Lady and Son…they are the bomb… I love the fact that we don’t pretend that we have arrived in our attempt to live fully for God. When something unlike God is discovered, the family comes along side to deal with it all the while loving the person in the process with the goal to strengthen each other… I like that we are not afraid to take risk if we feel God is leading… Lastly, we are developing a Kingdom mentality and shedding the religious dogma of the 20th Century Church… I love it I love it…

What is your current profession/career/occupation?: Sociology Major looking to counsel underprivileged teenagers
1. What is your passion? I have a tremendous passion to reach young women, helping them to understand, know and believe their divine worth in Christ Jesus. It is my earnest desire for women to walk in true confidence never accepting any substitutes. I want all women to know their purpose and to believe wholeheartedly that they are fearfully and wonderfully made, never waiting for a man to tell them so, but believing what the Word says about them.
My other passion is fashion. WOW! I love to help men, women and children look good and feel great about themselves both inside and out. I get excited shopping and choosing clothes, shoes and accessories that will perfect physical appearance as well as build confidence. I love to help people feel their absolute best and genuinely to see people happy with life!
2. What do you like the most about HCM? I love the realness about HCM and the transparency of its members. I love that we are family and that everyone is constantly pressing toward that mark in their life. HCM is Word-centered environment that shuns complacency and creates an atmosphere where individuals are challenged to spiritual heights and extreme personal growth. We are taught not to settle for less and to rebel against low expectations. If one does not wish to grow, one will become quite uncomfortable at HCM. I love that! Never in my life have I been so proud to be a part of such an amazing team of people.
3. Where in the world would you want to visit that you haven’t been to? I am excited to travel to Africa and London one day. Hopefully very, very soon!
4. What do you think should be the priority of this country–the USA? I am ready for the United States to overcome the tragic War on Poverty. It is unsettling to know that children all over the country go to bed hungry, or that millions of Americans do not have health care. There are far too many illiterate and uneducated individuals. This is a problem that should not be ignored. When I begin to see a narrowing between the rich and poor, the haves and have nots, then I will be more comfortable with my outlook on our country.
5. What person living or dead do you admire the most? I admire my mother Pamela F. Woods and my sister Sharlene W. Hawkins for being women of strength, virtue, courage and integrity. These two women are my real life heroes. I also admire Condoleezza Rice, Oprah Winfrey, Betsey Johnson, President Barack Obama and my own father James S. Woods, Sr.
