Absolutely adore their Christmas mass…read more I'm visiting here for the holidays, and it was a full on show! They have three screens (modern church), live music with singers, and a Christmas presentation where children were dancing to religious Christmas music. They also had "fake snow" fall from the ceiling for a part of it. In addition, there is ample and free parking. A whole parking lot is dedicated toward this church on Sunday. The holiday sermon was about 2 hours long from 11 am to 1 pm. It was a lengthier mass I've been to, but it was definitely enjoyable!

My family and I came here for Saturday mass in honor of my aunties 2nd year death anniversary…read more Coming from Ewa beach, it was a bit of a drive but well worth it. This church is beautiful. Not the biggest church but you can tell it is very well taken care of. As someone who hasn't attended mass in awhile, I like that they had laminated sheets so you know what to respond with so you don't feel an out of place.

Now, my home parish after weeks of trying different Catholic Churches. Here's why:…read more 1) Franciscan spirituality: a true holy man resides here as our beloved pastor. He is a Capuchin Franciscan who is the model priest. Firm and no nonsense (which I love) but with the compassion and kindness of Christ. Franciscans celebrate the presence of God in all of His creations: animals, plants, sun, moon, stars... yes even rainbows! Father's homilies might run a tad long, but they are jam packed with rich poignant truth-based concepts grounded in natural law and Christian "bedrock". I wouldn't wish one word less...every word of his helps me defuse the confusion of Christianity and I always come away enlightened. 2) adherence to the truth: so many times we gravitate to that which we want to hear versus what we need to hear. How many times do we "google" a topic but only chose to read the posts we happen to agree with, while dismissing the rest, regardless if they are more truthful than our previously adopted biases? That's not helping us to fully use the gifts of logic and reason God gave us. What personal growth is there in only listening to our own self centered egos and only those thoughts that seem to validate our conceits? In a world full of anger and shouting and hate and political correctness, and euphemism....it's nice to hear the unvarnished truth. I welcome truth the same way a poor, naked man welcomes warm clothes in the middle of a blizzard. 3) Aloha: I'm aware that this word may not mean today what it meant years ago, but in general (aside from the occasional curmudgeon like myself), the people here are warm, friendly, and try their best to imitate Christ. Do we fail? You bet. Several times a day... but we are called to "press on til the end"... and so we try. Most everyone here radiates Aloha. 4) Keeps traditions alive: while we all need to do a better job liturgically in some areas of tradition (as spelled out clearly in Sacrosanctum Concillium), we are one of the few churches that celebrates one Sunday Mass each month in the Hawaiian language. Come join us the third Sunday of the month to experience this. It is both amazing and inspirational. 5) History and Architecture: we are one of the few churches on island that did not jump on the 70s/80s/90s bandwagon of architecture revolution and renovate to a circular design (which is actually paganesque and not Christian). Our architecture reflects centuries of Catholic imagery... we have a proper Nave, Sanctuary, Altar and Tabernacle that is the central focus of our liturgy since everything visually in our architecture points to Christ as the center of our worship, and the presence of Christ in our midst. Our church was first established in 1840 as a result of the then persecution that drove the move of the faithful from Honolulu to the Windward side. Saint Father Damien of Molokai visited and said Mass here! The original wooden church structure burned down in a fire back in 1937. By 1939, a new block constructed church was built (which is the current one today). Our bell in our tower was a gift from the kind people of Nantes, France, and has a dedication and year marking on the bell that shows it was cast in 1845! There is something about the sanctity and feel of a church where so many generations of Hawaiians have worshipped in and prayed. It gives the church, a peaceful holy feel. If you are looking for a place to worship, you might like this parish. In any case, peace and goodness to you all... or in the words of St Francis d'Assisi: "Pax et Bonum ".

He is uncompromising to Biblical truths and doesn't bend for broken cultural narratives. The assistant pastor, Dennis, is one of the kindest souls you'll ever meet. I've been to many churches and none have given me the feeling of 'home' like this one. The church almost always has an adult Sunday school happening at 9:00am before the 10:30am service where you get the opportunity to dive into the Bible together in discussion and fellowship. During this crazy COVID19 time, the church is still meeting in-person (or online if you prefer) but observes social distancing and mask wearing to protect our kupuna and at-risk individuals. So grateful for International Church of Oahu.

WOW WOW WOW!…read more Everyone is warm and welcoming. The venue was decorated to honor Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Part of the open space was dedicated to vendors and educators on this topic.

BIG mahalo to My Sisters Keeper and Wellspring Church for holding this event. It was so powerful to hear women empowering women, that LOVE shouldn't hurt. Relationships should not have violence. Not once. Not ever. Know your worth!

They were my first stop the day after I moved to Hawaii on a whim. What I truly needed from a church at that time was community and relationships, and Wellspring offered that completely. As a bonus, they did potluck Sunday every other week and the food was delicious. ;) One of the things I appreciated most about this church was the women in leadership roles. There was a pastoral team of 3 women and one male head pastor when I started attending - as of now, I believe the head pastor is a woman and there are 2 other women on the team as well as the head pastor's husband. The messages are bible-centric and the church frequently works to help improve their neighborhood. During the start of COVID, they offered produce boxes and eggs for free on a weekly basis to anybody who needed assistance with food. They currently offer livestream services along with in-person services depending on your needs during the pandemic. If you're looking for a new home church in Oahu, I would highly recommend Wellspring. They are a smaller church where everybody knows each other and cares deeply for each other.
