Introducing Tim ...

Tim Hawkins is one of the most experienced Christian Youth pastors in the world. He has been a full-time youth pastor in a local church for almost 40 years. He was recently the Youth Pastor Emeritus at St. Pauls Anglican Church, Castle Hill, in Sydney Australia where he served for 27 years. In the past year, Tim and this wife, Karen, have responded to the call of God, and are serving as volunteers in Africa. Tim and Karen are based at Hillsong Church in Cape Town, and are pursuing a vision from God to help raise up the next generation of African leadership.

Tim's passion is to see high-schoolers and young adults become fervent disciples of Jesus. He planted and built the Crossfire youth ministry at Castle Hill, which is one of the most fruitful local church youth ministries in Australia. Every one of Tim's resources has grown out of his local church's youth ministry. Tim writes this material and speaks powerful messages to meet real needs. His books and resources are revolutionising youth ministry around the world, and are now being used as training manuals in many bible colleges.

Tim is a great believer in what Christian young people can accomplish in their own ministry at their own schools, colleges and communities. Tim regularly speaks at local churches, youth ministries and conferences to encourage biblical models of youth ministry. But much of his focus remains in his own church - both to the congregation at large as well as to the youth.

Tim is madly in love with his wife, Karen, and is the proud dad of his daughter, Carly, and his son, Joshua. He coached his son's football team for 12 seasons, and he enjoys eating chocolate and watching mindless TV.
