Mission and Vision

Ko Kākou Hōkūkūlaʻa ʻula
(Our Sacred Guiding Star)

We are a communion of saints who worship Christ and serve others.

We embrace the Hawaiian values of:
Aloha – We love and respect God and one another;
Mana – We respect the Spirit of God within each of us and all things;
Malama – We are good stewards of God's creation;
Pono – We are righteous and just in all our undertakings.

"Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, Rejoice." — Philippians 4:4

GOALS

  1. To create a worship service that meets the needs of our members and is faithful to our Vision.

  2. To offer ministry to children and youth within and outside the church that provides Sunday school, that enriches experience with and knowledge of God's gifts to our World and exemplifies Hawaiian values, that deepens faith, and that expands the roles of children in St. John's worship and ministries.

  3. To establish a music ministry inclusive of the current choir that uses local vocal and instrumental talent and is exciting and nourishing to the spirit.

  4. To establish and support a hospitality ministry considerate of how visitors are welcomed and new members are incorporated.

  5. To offer a lay eucharistic ministry for people homebound by ailments and frailties.

  6. To nurture a ministry of outreach that will involve a majority of our congregation and allow us to share our experience with and knowledge of God's gifts.
