About This Location
The Church of Christ in Hawkins serves this charming East Texas community of approximately 1,300 residents, located in Wood County about 20 miles west of Longview. Hawkins sits beautifully along the shores of Lake Hawkins, making it a popular destination for fishing, boating, and outdoor recreation enthusiasts who appreciate the area’s natural beauty and peaceful small-town atmosphere.
This close-knit community maintains strong rural values while offering convenient access to larger East Texas cities. Hawkins is part of the Piney Woods region, characterized by rolling hills, dense forests, and numerous lakes that define the landscape. The town’s economy traditionally centered on timber, agriculture, and lake-related tourism, creating a welcoming environment for families and retirees seeking a quieter pace of life.
Texas has a rich heritage of Churches of Christ, with congregations deeply rooted in communities throughout the state since the 1800s. The East Texas region particularly embraces this tradition of New Testament Christianity, biblical worship, and congregational autonomy that defines Churches of Christ.
Visitors to Hawkins will find a community that values neighborly relationships and small-town hospitality. The area attracts those relocating from urban areas who desire lake living, lower cost of living, and access to outdoor activities while remaining within reasonable driving distance of metropolitan amenities in Tyler, Longview, and Marshall. The congregation welcomes both long-time residents and newcomers discovering the appeal of East Texas lake country living.
