Ho'ola Groups

We believe that we all need to be connected to each other beyond Sunday, where only brief "hi's" and "bye's" can be exchanged. In additions to Sunday morning, we get together during the week in homes as "Ho'ola Groups" so that we can fellowship with each other and apply the Bible to real-life issues.

Ho’ola Groups are the heart of Mauka-Makai Ministries. It is in these small groups that true Christian fellowship is experienced as members worship, pray, and care for one another.

Ho'ola is a Hawaiian term that means to save, to nurture, to bring wholeness, to give life, and to revive. The term ho'ola accurately describes the ministry of Jesus who came to seek and to save the lost. Luke 19:10. We are under construction, a work in progress as the Lord restores us to the wholeness He originally intended (for more, go to The Christian Faith and Our Core Values). The Lord works out this construction process within a loving, transparent community of people who love and serve one another. That's what a ho'ola group is all about, people growing and being built up through the grace of God and the love of the group so that each is equipped to love God and serve others by bringing God's grace and wholeness to them. You don't have to worry about not having it all together, since none of us have it all together. . . . yet. On this side of heaven, we are a work in progress, but when the Lord takes us home to Him, we will be made complete.
