About William Kovacic
William was born and raised in Central Pennsylvania and found Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour at a young age. He was called into the church planting ministry in 1999. He holds a D. Div. degree from Southern Indiana Baptist College and has been the pastor of Lifegate Baptist Church in Bellefonte, PA since its inception in 2001.

The History of HCM
Deborah Kovacic grew up, the product of a dysfunctional home. She was subjected to abuse by family and "friends" from a very early age. Only someone that has lived through it can understand the impact such relationships leave on a small, innocent child. Years of inner struggle followed as the secrets were locked away. Abuse, as a way of life, took years to develop. Healing won't come overnight, but there is healing.
Strangely enough, God has placed Dr. Deborah around abuse and dysfunction during most of her ministry. She has been prepared in a most unique way for the ministry that God has given her.
As a means of directed counseling the Kovacic's use a one on one approach, a group approach where applicable, and Dr. Deborah also speaks to women at rallies and special meetings. The Kovacic's have just introduced online counseling to their programs as well. See the Services page for more details.
