To Whom it May Concern: It has been my privilege to have known Darren Hawkins, as his pastor, since 1992. It has been a joy to see hins respond to the Lord's work in his life. Darren continues to keep his heart and life open to the correction and teaching of the Lord. That is one of the things that makes Darren and his music so refreshing. As a church, we are grateful to have Darren among us. We have been blessed both by his "performance" music and by his leading of worship. Darren has a wonderful voice and is committed to excellence in his music, but he is even more committed to using music RS an instrument to draw people into the presence of God. Darren does not want people to notice Darren in his music, he wants them to notice Jesus Christ. I highly recommend to you the person and music ministry of Darren Hawkins.
