Faith Baptist Church (don't be fooled by the name, friends)

Kailua, HI (on the island of Oahu)

Worship is contemporary and loudish

Teaching is Biblically and culturally relevant

Our Kid's ministry is available at our Adult Education hour and second worship service (10:45 am).

Traffic, parking are pretty clear.

Can you wear jeans? Are you kidding me?! The pastors all wear shorts and slippers (er... "flip-flops" if you don't live in Hawaii). And t-shirts are fine too.

bring it.

Yup! I was on staff and I used to wear jeans. But if you are on the worship team you can't wear jeans on the stage on Sunday morning, but you can on Sunday night!

Hilo Missionary Church

Hilo, Big Island

www.hilomissionarychurch.org

We have two service with different styles. First is contemporary, the second is local style with a lot of Hawaiian hymns. Its beautiful.

Solid. Pastors speak from the Word and try to develop in the congregation the ability to see where the world/culture is and how Jesus wants to redeem and/or transform it.

Childcare, and youth service during the first service.

Favorite thing: After recently moving to Hawaii from the Mainland, this church body has gone leaps and bounds to help my wife and I find out how we can understand and integrate into Hilo's unique culture. I'd say that the majority of the people are honest and try to work together to follow Jesus in a real way.

Can I wear Jeans?
Lots of people do, and those who don't also don't care if others do. Which is nice. Especially as the youth pastor!
