Mondays are a powerful sisterhood group, while Wednesdays are vibrant with young adults eager for Christ and connection. The pastors are extraordinary, and serving here has empowered me to live out my purpose not because the church needs me, but because I choose to live a life of surrender and servanthood. The chapel's beauty, the freedom and miracles echoed within its walls, and the convenience of having a 7-Eleven next door make lingering after service both easy and enjoyable.

Huikala is an amazing and warm church family that welcomes you with open arms! I've never experienced anything like that at a church. You feel like you really belong there.

He gives you real life application to go out into your week, make change, be more Christ like, and make disciples of all nations! Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and you will find people seeking after Truth at Huikala and feel His Love here!

The views didn't stop here as they've got a nice perch on the slopes of the Koolau looking down to Kaneohe Bay. The facilities are a mix of wooden structures and canvas tents, though a billboard in the open air lanai suggested a new permanent structure is in the fundraising works. The service was held inside a big windowless tent, complete with an HVAC system, sound, lighting and a stage. This looks to be where church services are held as well. A small kitchen supplied legit coffee and teas post service on their breezy patio.

It's located near the Kaneohe District Park, Windward Community College, and the Hawaii State Hospital. Anchor Church has a beautiful campus! The drive up is already scenic with Norfolk pines and other outstanding foliage along the way! The views from the top are amazing! The people were very friendly and welcoming! I signed in, received a name tag and a yarn lei, and was given the schedule for the month and the calendar for 2023. Wow! Very organized! There were many activities to choose from. Luckily, my friend, Cecelia, and I have the same interests and we chose crochet over exercise; and ukulele instead of hula! We listened to the guest speakers from the Honolulu Fire Department - they had excellent information! Their slide show really emphasized their message. The potluck lunch was wonderful - we had to wear face masks while in line for the buffet meal. The servers placed food on our plates - we just told them what we wanted. We didn't touch the serving utensils. Overall, this was an educational experience! If you're available, everyone is welcome! Note: I'll return this Friday for the Valentine's Day crochet lesson!

A warm, welcoming, but deeply contemplative parish. We came here one Sunday as visitors and were…read moreso surprised at the beautiful but simple liturgy celebrated in the Ordinary Form (Novus Ordo). We could feel the love the congregation have for God and we were treated so kindly as if we were ohana. After Mass, we got to meet the pastor. He is a witty, funny, but very erudite young priest from northern China who spent years studying in Rome. He was amazing and had us laughing with his subtle but hilarious sense of humor! It's was so incredible to meet a young man who grew up in the midst of China's anti-Christian persecution and still held fast to the faith and became a priest despite the danger. We came early so we could participate in the rosary and pre Mass prayers. There is much peace here... so much that we returned on the next day (Labor Day so we had off from work ) for the weekday celebration of the holy sacrifice of the Mass just so we could visit this peaceful church again. We will definitely return again if we find ourselves on that part of Oahu. The history of this parish is quite interesting. Originally a mission church of St Elizabeth's in Aiea in 1942, it moved over to where Holy Family parish is now (next to HNL airport). This new church was finally constructed in 1973 at its present location in Salt Lake. But not before suffering a tremendous setback. In 1972, a few weeks before construction completion, unknown persons committed arson in the middle of the night and burned the new church almost to the ground. Perpetrators were never caught. The local parishioners found the funds to rebuild the church in a different architectural style 14 months later. While the architecture is modern, it is surprisingly not offensive to classical church design. Open and full of light, the church is constructed in a way that allows quiet contemplation and yet still retains the majesty required of a church dedicated to the Almighty ever living and loving Triune God. I especially liked the round stained glass "rose" window depicting the Holy Spirit situated "ad orientum" (facing East) that delivers beautiful diffused light to the altar. Wonderful church, wonderful parishioners, wonderful priest! So glad we came! Mahalo for reading my review. Pax et Bonum.

The church is huge and updated, lots of pews to sit on, and I can imagine during mass, it caN get crowded. Unfortunately, I came to attend a funeral service and wake service, the ushers were very warm and greeted us with a smile. The main comfort room is located down a stairway, under the church, where a large multi purpose room is located. The services went well, and after mass, the family hosted a lunch out front of the church. There's a tent and tables for the guest. Again, there is a shopping center just around the corner for everything else. It's a great place to visit and worship.

THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE THURSDAY EVENING IN HONOLULU !! And it turns out Manaola used to hang out in my friend's dress shop in Waimea back in the day when he got off the school bus, lol. Anyway.... So my friend found this church because their new music director is also the music director for Hospice, and she had joined his hospice choir, which led her to St Peter's choir. It's a really lovely church tucked in behind St Andrews cathedral. St Peter's was originally the Chinese episcopal church for the Chinatown community, but of course now welcomes everyone. They are Episcopal but they have a woman Lutheran pastor due to some kind of reciprocity with the ELCA Lutheran denomination. So they're smart and forward thinking. I really liked everybody I met here and it was a much more personal experience than it's more monumental neighbor, the Cathedral on the corner. Keep walking past the left of the cathedral and get yourself to St. Peter's. Join the choir !
