Dr. Paul D. Hawkins

Tidewater Baptist Church's beloved pastor of 27 years, and our dear friend, Paul Hawkins has gone to be in the presence of his dear Savior! Preacher passed on the first of April, while his dear wife Linda and daughters Beth and Julie were with him. Our beloved brother was a dear friend to all and a great servant of our God. His vision has been dim, and he has been quite quiet recently due to his illness, but he is shouting and singing in glory now - gazing unto the Lord Jesus Christ!!

Mrs. Hawkins and the girls have felt led that those that wish to give a gift of love toward the Hawkins family should give their gift into a benevolence fund. Tidewater Baptist Church will use this fund to help those in need during this difficult time. In lieu of sending flowers and such, you may honor this wonderful man and bless this truly selfless family by simply giving using the form below. All of the monies that are collected will be used to give benevolent gifts to those who are in need. In addition, if you find it easier, you may simply send your love gift to Tidewater Baptist Church at 1316 Campostella Road, Chesapeake, VA 23320 and designate “Hawkins Memorial Fund”. We thank you for your love and prayers for the Hawkins family and hope that you are doing well. God bless you.
