FPC Hawaii Values

OUR VALUES

PRAYER – Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually. (Psalm 105:4)

HUMILITY – Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves. Let each of you look not to your own interests, but [also] to the interests of others. Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus;  (Philippians 2:3-5)

THE GRACE AND TRUTH OF JESUS – From his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. The law indeed was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. (John 1:16-17)

COURAGE – Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. (Joshua 1:9)

 

WHO WE ARE

We are Christians who believe in Jesus Christ and trust Him to lead our lives because He is the Savior and Messiah who died for our sins. We believe in one God who revealed Himself and His plans for us in the Bible and especially through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

We are members of the Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians (ECO) since 2014.

We have pastors and lay pastors, a board of Elders (Session) who are responsible for the life of the church, and deacons who are charged with nurturing and ministering to those in need.

OUR HISTORY

We have received a precious legacy. Following a very careful study, initiated by the Presbytery of Los Angeles in 1957, the Keeaumoku Street property was purchased as the location for the first Presbyterian church to be organized in the islands. Initial worshipers assembled at the Richards Street Y.W.C.A. The new building at 1822 Ke’eaumoku Street was completed in 1961 and the congregation moved in. Additional facilities, provided through two subsequent building programs, have been shared with the larger community.

We face the future with faith and great expectations and we want to build on this strong foundation of the past and present. We believe our years of greatest growth are still before us at our current location in Kaneohe, which encompasses 243 acres of land. Our generation has received so much from those who preceded us in the life and work of this church. Now it’s our turn. Let the adventure continue!
