Who We Are
“Real People Journeying Together to Embrace God’s Best for Our Lives”
Our Mission
To Build a Movement of Believers who Support One Another in a Growing Relationship with Jesus, Journeying Together to Discover, Embrace, Grow In, and Share the Abundant Life God has for us — which is the Best Version of Ourselves
Our Vision
To Be a Modern-Day Antioch Church [Acts 11:19-26,27-30; 13:1-3]
The Antioch Church, as described in the Bible, is a model of a diverse, mission-oriented, and generous community. It was a central place for early Christian outreach, a symbol of unity among believers of different backgrounds, and a key player in the establishment of the global Christian movement. The leadership of the Antioch Church focused on teaching and worship, fellowship, sharing the Gospel, mentoring, leadership development, and church planting. They spread the Gospel and planted churches throughout the First Century world, setting a powerful example for future Christian communities.

1,000 MiniChurches (small groups), 1,000 Pastors
Plant One Next Generation Antioch Church on Oahu
