On the outside it looks like a great church, it's beautiful, crowded, great music... but people…read morethere don't really know much about it when you ask what their beliefs are. We went to the Alpha group and were surprised that the Alpha "leaders" didn't know the answers to many of our questions about what exactly the church's theology. We were able to talk to the associate pastor, Andrew, later that night and asked him a lot of the questions. We found out they are a very charismatic church. We were told by the associate pastor they believe in speaking in tongues, he prefers with interpretation, prophesying and raising the dead back to life in this day and age. The reason I gave it a 1, is because you really have to ask someone who is actually running and working for the church and do some digging to find out exactly what they believe, not the "volunteers or worshippers that go there". Unfortunately, I think many people just go there to get their Sunday worship on and truly do not know the root theology of this church. They also have a female associate pastor, Jody. So if you are looking for Reformed Theology this is not the church for you. It is definitely on the Pentecostal side which is not advertised nor do a lot of their church body realize IMHO.

Visited this lovely parish for Advent liturgies and Mass during recent travel to the Big Island…read more Very vibrant community with deep historical roots going back to the early 19th century. Original stone and coral block church was destroyed in a typhoon in the early 2000s and this replacement church was rebuilt on the grounds of the original footprint in 2015. Incorporating much style from the previous church, this edifice is still a modern design but executed as well as could be. Of special importance is the blessed sacrament chapel with first class relics of saints surrounding the tabernacle where our blessed Lord, in Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity is reposed. See website for current Mass schedule. Note that when we were there for daily Mass, the priest chanted portions of the Ordinary in Latin which was a welcome change. Mahalo for reading my review. Pax Christi.

When Peter's faith starts to wane, and he starts to sink in the water. It's a beautiful church for a wedding! Personally I thought the church was very special and very memorable. What a little gem!!

There is a beautiful stained glass window at the back of the church overlooking the ocean. I believe that services are still held in the church. It can also be rented for small wedding parties. There is no parking lo the church. Parking is available on the street. Drive slowly or you will certainly miss is, because it's tiny size is easy to overlook.

Highly recommend it for the saved and unsaved alike. The 12:30 Sunday message is about 30 minutes long, recapping the morning message (30 minutes of God's word is better than none, amen)...However, if you can make the 10AM Sunday school or the 11AM service for the full message.
