Dewayne C. Hawkins is twenty-eight years old and grew up in Oakland, CA. He has been happily married for the last seven years to Krista Hawkins and has two beautiful boys; Jaylen (5yrs.) and Elijah (2yrs) and is expecting a third child.
Dewayne accepted his calling to preach the gospel when he was nineteen years old. Upon his arrival in Washington state God called him to join with Shiloh Baptist Church.
From 2000 to 2007 Dewayne effectively operated as Shiloh’s very first Youth Pastor. Under his leadership the youth ministry at Shiloh grew from 30 to a spiritually healthy ministy of over 130 youth by 2006. Truly the favor of the Lord made it all possible.
The favor of the Lord continues to follow him. In obedience to God’s call Dewayne planted and now pastors Exalted City Church in Spanaway, WA. Since Exalted City's first service, held on September 21, 2008, God has added over 40 members to this fresh ministry. Amazingly, over 60% of these new members connected as un-churched and new believers.
Dewayne Hawkins has a great passion for ministry, the family, and the people of God. He is grateful and forever indebted to God for calling him to help advance the Kingdom.
