Mark Hatcher established the Mark Hatcher Evangelistic Crusades in 1983 and became the Pastor of the Holy Ghost Headquarters Church in the same year. The church was located in a dilapidated building in North Philadelphia and required renovations before it became a sanctuary of refuge for a rapidly expanding congregation. Mark Hatcher served as General Contractor for the project that was successfully ameliorated.
In 1995, God gave Pastor Hatcher a vision to restore the Met. The registered historical building located at Broad & Poplar Streets was slated for demolition, but Pastor Hatcher was commissioned to restore the facility and contribute to the revitalization of the community. The undertaking would be monumental and would require massive funding and unwavering faith. When it comes to faith, believing, pronouncing, and experiencing the promises of God, Pastor Hatcher is full of faith. With the backing of the congregation funding is pouring in and a great work is in progress.
Pastor Hatcher has made positive impressions within the North Philadelphia community. He is a product of the North Philadelphia Community and his determination to see a positive change within the deteriorating neighborhood is driving force. His commitment to ministering to the total man has helped him to build and strengthen the relationship between the church and the local government. His concerned demeanor and genuine ability to inspire has afforded him the opportunity to receive the support of the Mayor's Office, Philadelphia City Council, State Senate and Ward Representatives. Pastor Hatcher is a member of the Philadelphia Council of Clergy, Executive Board of Elders, Morris Cerullo World Evangelism and the Uptown Cultural District Group.
During his hectic schedule as a traveling evangelist, Pastor Hatcher attained various degrees in theology. In 1997, Pastor Hatcher received his Doctorate in Divinity from the Grace Theology Seminary in Loris, NC. Pastor Hatcher is the husband of Karen, and the father of five children.
Holy Ghost Headquarters is an end-time Kingdom building, five-fold ministry which operates in the spirit of liberty. We believe in the immaculate conception, sin-less, the crucifixion, the burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. We believe in Pastors, Prophets, Apostles, Evangelists, and Teachers. We believe in the ordinances of Holy Communion and Water Baptism.
When God imparted to me the commission to restore this building, I put on strength, girded up my mind, guarded my spirit and accepted his will. By the time I publicly shared the vision, I had already begun nurturing this project within my spirit. It was settled in an environment deep within me well protected for the threat of being plucked out, crushed or strangled out of my being.During this season the darts of criticism, pit falls, stumbling blocks, and hindering spirits were experienced. Though the vision tarry, wait for it because it will surely come. Explaining the vision to blinded eyes was exhaustive, but God strengthened me to do so and to forge ahead. I refused to come down off the wall just to entertain those filled with doubt and disbelief.I could feel the vision growing and developing into multiple phases, needing my direct lifeline of faith to sustain it. The vision was fed generous portions of Habakkuk 2:2-3; Haggai 1:2-8; Malachi 3:6-12; 2 Corinthians 4:6-7 and Haggai 2:8-9. Suddenly there was a quickening. I knew it would not be much longer so I began to P.U.S.H. the vision to maintain focus as I was being used to bring it forth. I began to P.U.S.H. the vision for every member of HGH to consider their ways.I began to P.U.S.H. the vision for the great harvest of souls about to be birthed into the ministry. I began to P.U.S.H. the vision for every piece of building supplies and equipment. I began to P.U.S.H. the vision for every skilled man and laborer. I began to P.U.S.H. the vision for the carpet, chairs, HVAC system, AV system and the necessary operating systems. I began to P.U.S.H. the vision for provision financially and spiritually. Then just as God promised He fulfilled His Word. I have delivered the burden of the vision.Praise the Lord!
