Jen Hawkins
Additional Care Director
Meet Jen
Hi! My name is Jennifer Hawkins, but my friends and family often call me “Jen.” I’ve been married to my best friend, Johnny, since 1995. We have five wonderful adult children, two sons-in-law, and some wonderful & precious grandkids. We’re absolutely loving this stage of life!
I grew up in Wichita Falls, Texas, with incredibly loving parents who were deeply devoted to their faith and Jesus. I had a large family—four brothers and three sisters—plus over 200 bonus siblings that my family had the privilege of caring for during the 46 years we fostered many children. Twenty-six of those years included siblings with special needs, and that’s when I first developed a compassionate heart for those with a disability.
I accepted Christ at a young age, but throughout high school and college, I found myself going back and forth in my fully dependance on the Lord. However, in 1993, Jesus became my everything, and I’ve been fully committed to Him ever since. I’m so grateful and thankful Jesus is a part of my life and my dependance is only in Christ alone.
I’m honored to serve on The Care Team as our Additional Care Director, and I also get to oversee our Deaf and Hard of Hearing Ministry. This role is a true gift, and I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve many friends here at Watermark.
