Hawfields Presbyterian Church was founded by settlers in the mid 1700s.  The present sanctuary, constructed in 1854, occupies one of three sites used by the congregation over the years.  An Educational Building, Fellowship Hall, and century-old Session House also occupy the grounds.  The two-story 3,000 sq. ft. manse is separated from the church facilities by several acres of wooded property.

            Hawfields offers both a contemporary service on Saturday evenings and a traditional worship service on Sunday mornings.  On average 181 of our 415 active members attend weekly.  Sunday School is offered for all ages on Sunday mornings with 75 regular attendees.  We offer a nursery for infants/toddlers, classes for pre-school, elementary, middle and high school age children, and five adult classes.  During worship, young children may participate in “Hawfields Hangout” on Saturday nights and Jr. Church on Sunday mornings. 

            Eleven ministry committees include Building/Grounds, Compassion, Education, Fellowship, Finance, Laity, Outreach, Service/Missions, Staff, Stewardship, and Worship/Music.  Other programs include active Women’s Circles, Men’s Group, Bible Study, Adult and Youth Fellowship Groups.  In addition to the regular opportunities offered for worship and spiritual nurture, the church collects food for those in need, maintains a supply of sick-room equipment, operates a church library, supplies a tape ministry to shut-ins, and offers scouting programs for boys and girls.

        Hawfields offers many spiritual programs to enable our congregation to mature in their faith and build disciples.  The Presbyterian Women are organized into four active circles, serving locally as well as Cluster Enablers.  The Men’s Group and Youth Groups are working and growing in the church and beyond.  The Sunday School program at Hawfields serves to heighten the faith and discipleship of all attendees.  We also publish an informative monthly newsletter.

            Our members grow in their faith by not only attending church events, but in giving of their time and talents to develop fellowship and educational opportunities for the church.  Many adults coordinate and teach the Rotation Sunday School program and many others are involved in adult classes or Bible Study.  Children’s activities such as holiday parties, the children’s music program, and annual Christmas play are well-supported.  Our Community Days festival is successful in exposing new people to our church, members, and mission.

            Hawfields strives to serve our congregation and the surrounding communities as well.  Over 20 of our members (adult and youth) have participated in local and international mission trips.  We have an active Greeting program at both worship services designed to reach out to current and potential members.  We provide a monthly worship and communion service to the residents of the Presbyterian Home of Hawfields and reach out to families with young children through the Hawfields Child Care Center.
