House church
Most weeks we gather in a host family’s home in the Keaʻau and Hilo area. Expect couches, folding chairs and kids underfoot.
Plan a Visit
Your first Sunday,explained.
We’re a house church, so things look a little different from a typical Sunday. Here’s everything you need to know, and how to get this week’s location.
What to expect
Sunday, step by step.
Every Sunday at 11:00 AM. Expect about 90 minutes together.
“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”Matthew 18:20
- 1
Arrive & aloha
Someone will greet you at the door, introduce you around and find you a seat. No name tags, no pressure.
- 2
Worship together
A blend of traditional hymns and contemporary songs, often with guitar. Sing loud or just listen.
- 3
Open the Word
Bible-centered teaching with room for questions. Bring a Bible if you have one; we have extras.
- 4
Pray & share communion
We pray for one another and share the Lord’s Supper as a family, kids included.
- 5
Talk story
Stay a while. Ask questions, meet a few families, and let someone pray with you if you’d like. No rush to leave.
Where we meet
A living room. Sometimes the shoreline.
We don’t own a building, on purpose. That keeps us small, close and generous. Because the location rotates, we’ll text you the address before Sunday.
By the ocean
Some Sundays we worship at a beach park. Bring a chair, sunscreen and a towel. Baptisms happen here too.

Tell us a little about yourself and we’ll send you this week’s location, plus anything you need to know.
Where do you meet?
Most Sundays we gather in a host home in the Keaʻau and Hilo area, and occasionally at a beach park. Because the location changes, text us at (808) 300-5869 or use the form on this page and we’ll send you the address.
What should I wear?
Whatever you’re comfortable in. Aloha shirts, slippers and beach clothes are all normal here.
Who is welcome?
All are welcome. Whether you’re exploring faith, looking for a church home or just visiting the island, come as you are and take part at your own pace.
What about my kids?
Children are part of the church family and worship with us in the main gathering. We provide childcare in a separate room for little ones under 4.
How long is the service?
About 90 minutes, including worship, prayer and Bible teaching. Afterward, you’re welcome to stay and talk story as long as you like.
