Worship With Us
Sundays beside the same grace that holds the islands
Every week our ʻohana gathers in Waipio Uka to sing, pray, open Scripture and sit still long enough to remember whose ocean this is. No polish required — just come.

Sunday Gathering
Sunday at Ocean
How the morning flows
We keep Sunday simple and unhurried, like a slow tide coming in. Here is the rhythm of a typical morning at 94-1477 Waipio Uka Boulevard.
What to expect
Come as you are — aloha shirts, slippers, work clothes, whatever the morning gave you. The service runs about 75 minutes and blends contemporary worship with the hymns many of us grew up singing.
Families check keiki in at the welcome table before the service, and our team walks every first-time family through it. Parking is free throughout the Waipio Uka business park; look for the entrance marked Suite G105.
First visit? Stop by the welcome table and let us pour the coffee — we would love to learn your name.
Plan your first visitKeiki & Youth
The smallest members get the biggest welcome
While the adults gather, Keiki Church meets at 9:30 AM with songs, stories and crafts sized for little hands and short attention spans.
Our background-checked team keeps check-in quick and secure, and parents are paged if a keiki needs them. Older kids grow into Friday youth nights with Pastor Mark T. Fujimoto, and every summer ends loud and glittery with Vacation Bible School.
Check-in opens at the welcome table from 9:15 AM each Sunday.

Beyond Sunday
Midweek & monthly rhythms
Faith grows in the ordinary days between Sundays. These rhythms keep us anchored through the week, the month and the seasons.
Midweek Anchor
Midweek Anchor
Wednesdays · 7:00 PM
Our midweek gathering for prayer and Bible study is quieter than Sunday — fewer chairs, slower pages, longer prayers. We work through Scripture together and carry one another’s burdens to God by name.
Meets at the church, Suite G105. No sign-up needed; just walk in.
ʻOhana Dinner
First-Friday ʻOhana Dinner
Once a month we push the chairs aside, set long tables and eat together — potluck style, kids underfoot, nobody eating alone. It is the simplest thing we do and one of the holiest.
Seasonal tides
Ocean Baptism Sundays — Quarterly, we carry the whole service to the shore and baptize new believers in the water that gave our church its name. More than 40 people have gone under those waves since 2017.
Beach cleanups — Caring for creation is part of worship here. Several times a year we pull on gloves and give a morning back to the coastline that hosts our baptisms.

Six ways the church serves and is served
Every ministry below is run by volunteers from our own pews. Each one has room for you — no audition, no seminary degree, just willingness.
Keiki & Youth
Sunday kids church, Friday youth nights and summer VBS, led by Pastor Mark T. Fujimoto. We want every child to know church as a safe, joyful place where the gospel is told at their height.
Join: ask for Pastor Mark at the welcome table any Sunday.
ʻOhana Groups (Tide Groups)
Home small groups are the relational heart of this church — the living rooms where Sunday’s sermon becomes Tuesday’s conversation. Groups share meals, study Scripture and show up for each other.
Join: email [email protected] for a group near you.
Worship & Arts
Musicians, vocalists and production volunteers serve under Pastor Leilani Akana to lead the congregation in song. Rehearsals are weekly, the bar is humility before skill, and new players are always auditioning for joy.
Join: talk to anyone on the team after the service.
Care & Prayer
Hospital visits, meal trains and a prayer chain that actually gets prayed. When someone in our ʻohana is sick, grieving or simply stretched thin, this team is the first to the door, often with dinner.
Join: connect with Deacon Rose Kealoha through the welcome table.
Outreach & Missions
We partner with a Waipahu food pantry, organize beach cleanups and send a team on an annual missions trip. More than 2,500 meals have been shared and distributed through these hands since 2017.
Join: email [email protected] with "Outreach" in the subject line.
Welcome & Hospitality
Greeters, the coffee crew and new-guest follow-up — the people who make sure nobody walks in or out of this church unseen. It is the easiest team to start on and the one guests remember most.
Join: just tell a greeter you want in; you can shadow next Sunday.
Tide Groups
Fourteen living rooms, one ʻohana
Tide Groups meet on weeknights in homes across Central and Leeward Oʻahu — Waipahu, Mililani and Pearl City — sharing food, Scripture and the unglamorous faithfulness of showing up.
Joining is simple: email [email protected] and we will match you with a group near your neighborhood and schedule, or visit the welcome table on any Sunday and we will introduce you in person.

Good Questions
Things people ask before their first Sunday
What should I wear?
Whatever you already own. Aloha shirts, board shorts, slippers, scrubs straight from a night shift — all of it walks through our doors every week. God is looking at hearts, and so are we.
What happens with my kids?
Keiki Church runs at 9:30 AM during the main service, with songs, stories and crafts led by a background-checked team. Check-in opens at the welcome table from 9:15 AM, and parents are paged if a child needs them. Kids are also always welcome to stay with you in the service.
Where do I park?
Parking is free throughout the Waipio Uka business park at 94-1477 Waipio Uka Boulevard. Walk toward the entrance marked Suite G105 — greeters will be outside, and the coffee is just inside the door.
How long is the service?
About 75 minutes, blending contemporary worship with hymns, prayer and teaching from Scripture. Doors open at 8:30 AM for coffee, and lobby aloha time follows around 11:00 AM — stay as long as you like.
I’m new to faith — is this for me?
Especially for you. You will never be singled out, pressured or asked to pretend you believe more than you do. Bring your questions and your doubts; honest seekers have shaped this church since it began in 2017, and Joshua Kahale would genuinely love to talk with you after any service.
