Co-Pastors
Two pastors with one passion -- sharing the love of God with the people of God. Jan and Thomas have lived in Charleston since 1995. Two pastors and one pulpit -- shared preaching, teaching and leading. Two perspectives -- providing congregational care, involved with the community, committed to serving in Christ's name.
Our congregation is friendly, welcoming and supportive of their pastors, staff and each other. We serve together as partners in ministry. God's Spirit is our energy and vision each week and many are blessed.
--Reverend Jan Hawkins
First Presbyterian Church is the most accepting, generous congregation I have known. By experiencing God's generosity in worship and small groups, we know how to model acceptance toward others in our individual lives and community.
--Reverend Dr. Thomas Hawkins
