Tim Hawkins is one of the most experienced Christian Youth pastors in Australia. He has now been a full-time youth pastor in a local church for almost 30 years. He is currently the Youth Pastor Emeritus at St. Pauls Anglican Church, Castle Hill, in Sydney Australia where he has been for almost 20 years.
Tim's passion is to see high-schoolers 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 high-schoolers can accomplish in their own ministry at their own high school. 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 has coached his son's football team for 12 seasons, and he enjoys eating chocolate and watching mindless TV.
