Our Founder

Charlie Hatchett

Chuck Hatchett is the founder of Heaven In Motion. A pastor, author, and community leader based in Stratford, CT, Chuck founded H.I.M. out of a conviction that the next generation needs more than programs — they need a movement rooted in faith, resilience, and purpose. Under his leadership, H.I.M. is building the infrastructure to fund, give, and govern as a premier youth foundation in Connecticut and beyond.

Before stepping into these roles he was an all American athlete who played basketball, football, and track and field. After a successful college football career where he was an all American 3 years in a row, he turned pro in 2012. After getting opportunities to work with the Jets and Falcons, but not landing an NFL contract, he was blessed with the opportunity to earn his first contract with the BC Lions of the CFL where he played linebacker and earned rookie honors.

While at Cornerstone Christian Center, Charlie served as the Director of Student Ministries for five years and then in 2021 he became the Associate Pastor over children, youth and young adults. He has spent his time over the years ministering and discipling students and congregants.

Over the past four years, Charlie has spoken to hundreds of individuals in both personal and large group settings as a speaker for USAYO where he is requested to share his story with athletes and students. He has visited universities such as Brown, Cornell, Yale and Quinnipiac where he both encouraged and provided life changing strategies to students and staff members. Charlie is now preparing for the 2024 Olympics to throw shot put, but more importantly is devoted to helping individuals grow in their walk with Christ by helping to develop the mind, body and soul.
