After 16 years of feeding, nurturing and loving the flock, the Late Great Bishop George W. Hawkins, Sr. passed the baton to his son in August of 2008. As the years passed, every morning brought new mercies; every day marked the faithfulness of God to His people and to His servant. Now, 16 years later, it gives us great honor in celebrating the 16th Pastoral Anniversary of Pastor Dr. Derek Hawkins, Sr.! For his dedication to the work of the ministry, and for his boldness in declaring the Good News to a broken world.
