Meet Our Church Staff
At New Life Baptist Church, our staff consists of Pastor Jon Hawkins and his wife, Kay, who provide leadership and guidance to our congregation. While they lead with a deep commitment to serving God and the community, we are also blessed with many dedicated volunteers who fill various roles across our church. Each volunteer brings their unique gifts and passion to help make New Life a welcoming, vibrant place for everyone. Together, we strive to foster a supportive and loving environment where all can grow in their faith and serve others.

Pastor Jon Hawkins has been faithfully leading New Life Baptist Church since February 2011. With over two decades of pastoral experience—14 years in western Pennsylvania and 9 years co-pastoring in New Jersey—he brought a wealth of knowledge, dedication, and a heart for ministry to Hudson Falls to continue the growing work of our church.
Pastor Hawkins trusted Christ as his personal Savior at the young age of five, setting the foundation for a lifetime of serving the Lord. He met his wife, Kay, while attending Bible college, and together they’ve built a loving family and ministry partnership. The Hawkins family includes their five children—Sheri, Cara, David, Michael, and Katelyn—along with three sons-in-law, Jonathan, Andrew, & Zack, two daughters-in-law, Kimberly and Katie, and seven treasured grandchildren: Joy, Noelle, Luke, Micah, Maverick, Grace, & Ryder.
With a deep love for God and people, Pastor Hawkins and Kay have a passion for spreading the gospel, strengthening families, and serving the Hudson Falls community with grace and humility. They look forward to seeing how God will continue to bless and grow New Life Baptist Church.
