Rev. Mark A. Hatcher, son of the late Robert & Therenthia Hatcher,
was born and raised in the heart of North Philadelphia. He was
educated in the Philadelphia Public School System and graduated from
Simon Gratz High School. His family was devoted members of the Met
Church under the tutelage of the late Dr. Thea F. Jones. At a very
early age Mark Hatcher converted to Christianity and displayed a
love for witnessing to Lord Jesus Christ was seemingly unquenchable.
As a teenage, Mark Hatcher was obedient to the call from God to the
ministry and was appointed Associate Pastor of the Met Church in
1981
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.

Our Mission ... To restore the old landmark where God's
presence manifests to teach men of every creed of the Holy Spirit
that they be equipped to go out and compel fallen mankind to repentance,
being established unto God and ever abounding in the knowledge
of Jesus Christ.
The Vision... written to the Holy Ghost
Headquarters Revival Center at the Met Inc., Church Family by
the Angel of the House Rev. Mark A. Hatcher Sr., D.D. Pastor &
Founder
Vision: to prepare a place to experience the harvest of souls
where people of every creed and nationality would be unified and
taught
of the Holy Spirit and be fully equipped to perform the ministry
assigned to their hands.
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 share 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. Thought 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!
