Our Story
Our prayer and burden is to see God glorified through a Gospel Community that Proclaims Christ as King.
It’s our desire that the gospel impact all of Wai-side, Maui, Hawaii, and the nations, for the glory of God.
In 2010, a number of people (including the Haynes and Komatsus) had come from Hawaii to Louisville for theological training. Shortly after they arrived, they began meeting together to pray for Hawaii and its churches. For 8 years, this group continued meeting each month for “Hawaii Prayer Night.”
It was through the seeds planted in prayer at “Hawaii Prayer Night” that the burden and vision for Waiehu Community Church grew.
Our Partners
We have a number of partners over the past few years. One of our primary partners is Kahului Baptist Church (www.kahuluibaptist.com) on Maui. KBC has generously and self-sacrificially supported our efforts. One of the primary ways was by sending out multiple families to become a part of the WCC core-team.
WCC is a part of the Immanuel Network (www.immanuelnetwork.org), which is a group of like-minded churches, committed to helping pastors plant and cultivate healthy churches for a global harvest. Kailua Baptist Church (www.kailuabaptist.org) in Kailua, HI and Immanuel Baptist Church (www.immanuelky.org) in Louisville, KY are both a part of the Immanuel Network and are also our sending churches. These two churches have served in equipping our pastors and have continued providing WCC with countless resources.
We desire to continue building faithful partnerships with other churches, including those within the Maui County Baptist Association, the Hawaii Pacific Baptist Convention, as well as churches throughout the Pacific and continental US.
On January 27, 2019, 20 core team members covenanted together as the founding members of Waiehu Community Church. Our first service was held on February 3, 2019.
