So the women's conference is great, but "merch"'and an expanding venue to rake in more money vs a more intimate sanctuary. They preach weekly about the obedience of tithing to further the ministry, why then does the women's conference cost an arm and a leg?? Shouldnt the head female pastor be promoting women's conference so "all" can attend without taking a loan?? They have lost and no longer promote the most high as our father but rather as an avenue to personal wealth! Promoting, women against one another and wear your best to arise! Then their daughter posts daily about her run or her OT workout as she is married to a local artist. Is vanity not a root sin. I'm ready to move on to a more intimate environment focused on God and not riches and aesthetics. I said what I said...prove me wrong!

Amazing ancient wooden church reminiscent of years past. A true gem of ecclesiastical architecture…read morelocated in Ewa. A very diverse and enthusiastic parish. I come here on days when I'm free and always marvel at the 1929-circa structure and architectural adornments that provide a proper, peaceful, contemplative atmosphere for worshipping God,in all his Triune magnificence. The church contains a proper Nave, Narthex, Atrium, and Ambo. The original wooden buttresses have been repainted in a more modern color, but imagine they were splendid back in the day in their natural Koa wood simplicity. My poor photos do not do it justice. A church this old is certainly in need of recurring maintenance and I think the parish does well on the limited budget. But with all old buildings, there is always much to still do to preserve. I hope and pray that this beautiful church can always remain here on Oahu and that restoration efforts continue. I enjoy the beautiful Eucharistic Adoration on first Fridays and the fact that a lovely dedicated group of parishioners stay after Mass to pray the Divine Mercy chaplet together. I fully appreciate how piously the parish keeps a period of holy silence before Mass begins. This allows one to gather thoughts, offer personal prayers and prepare to as St Paul says: "offer yourselves as a perfect sacrifice to the Lord..." Highly recommend a visit here for worship and prayer. Mahalo for reading my review. Pax et Bonum.

We have this to be a nice, warm, inviting, and friendly place to go. We do Sunday nights, which is a nice small crowd. If you would like to check it out, it would be a good night to go. Found both pastors to be nice and don't treat you like a stranger but more as a long-lost family member. I have them both to tell good stories of the Bible and to be straightforward in their message of God. There are a lot of smaller kids on Sunday nights, but all seem very respectful and listen the whole time. They also do a Wednesday night Bible study for the kids, teen, and adults. This Wednesday will be our first time for the study, so we will see. Thank you for doing what you do, Pastors Ried and Deverell, for making so welcoming!

Had funeral services here for my parents too. This church has served as the foundation for my family and continues to do so for my time.

The night before we searched Google and Yelp for "Christian Churches near me" and Harbor Church West Oahu in Kapolei stood out. We decided on the 11am service.

Surprisingly both Churches use the same "Church Center" app for notifications and donations. We sat near the front and Pastor Justin was so kind and gracious to introduce himself. At the end of the service, he prayed a heartfelt prayer with us (as we are embarking on the IVF journey). It was very heartwarming and appreciated.

Urgent: Inappropriate and Harassing Behavior at Pearlridge Church Main Campus:…read more I am deeply disappointed and disturbed by the behavior of a staff member at Pearlridge Church Main Campus, who is also part of the men's ministry. This individual has repeatedly harassed me in the past over the course of nine months, asking for personal information, and acted in ways that made me feel extremely uncomfortable and unwelcome. Such conduct is not only unprofessional but also fundamentally wrong for someone representing a church that teaches love, compassion, and respect. The breaking point was when I arrived at church on 9/21/25 at 6PM, and this staff member blocked the entrance, insisting I had to sit in the back, despite knowing I always sit in the front. I explained that I have vision, hearing, and focus issues, and I need to sit in the front to fully experience the Holy Spirit and receive God's message. Keep in mind, there are plenty of open seats and an entirely empty front row. His response was dismissive: "Well, I suggest you come earlier then." Still blocking the doorway, I was appalled. I told him that I always sit in the front, and his reaction was turning me away from attending service altogether. Does he treat everyone with physical or health conditions this way or was it just me? His demonic spirit--his anger, hostility, and intrusive behavior--completely overshadowed the spirit of love and community that church should embody. I felt so uncomfortable that I chose to walk away from his energy and instead sat in a front corner where I could enjoy the service peacefully. Later, I saw the same staff member hovering near the side of the stage next to the worship team, glaring at me with anger. His energy was oppressive and demonic, creating a distracting, uncomfortable, and hostile environment for me. Only the work of the enemy would seek to distract and anger someone who is trying to receive the Word of God and work his way through inside the church. After the service ended, he approached me and asked if I was "good." I responded that I was--was he? As I was leaving, he continued to follow me into the lobby, giving me a feeling like he was stalking me over my shoulder. He then started questioning why I even come to church if I don't obey his demands and called me a distraction for sitting in the front. I reminded him of my health issues and emphasized the importance of sitting in the front to see, hear, and receive God's Word. He then dismissed my concerns and called me a distraction again. I find this behavior unacceptable and unchristian. People walk in and out of service for various reasons--using the restroom, talking on the phone, scrolling social media (including Pastor Russel on stage), or even making distasteful comments during sermons. For example, Pastor Russel's comment about holding in a fart in front of his wife was inappropriate, gross and a distraction, which shows a lack of reverence for the spiritual atmosphere we should be cultivating. I asked this staff member why he felt the need to follow me and reprimand me, why he couldn't simply pray with me instead of trying to punish or shame me. His harassment made me feel so uncomfortable that I chose to walk away from him again. However, he continued to follow me outside the church, shouting at me in front of over a hundred people, telling me, "Don't you want to talk to my boss? Don't you have two minutes?" This is completely unacceptable behavior for someone representing a church and harassing me, creating that hostile environment. I do not know this man's name, but he was working on 9/21/125, 6PM service, hanging around the cafe area when service began( if there's cameras) he was wearing a Pearlside shirt and hat, had a faux hawk underneath his hat, with tattoos on arms and carrying a handheld radio. He kind of looks like Kalae George. His conduct was uncalled for and unbefitting of anyone in ministry, especially at a church that preaches love, respect, and kindness. Such actions do not reflect the teachings of Jesus Christ and are a shame to the body of Christ. It is wrong for a church staff member to behave this way--harassing, intimidating, and bullying those seeking spiritual growth. I pray that Pearlridge Church Management team of that staff will contact me, address this behavior and remember that we are called to love one another, not to act out of demonic anger and hostility. Mahalo!
