Everlasting Peace

In His Word, God says that He did not spare His only Son, but gave Him up for us all. This is the message of Community Lutheran Church. We’re not a big church, but we hear the Word of God proclaimed to us clearly: that our God is a God of uncompromising justice and unrestrained grace — both found together at the cross of His Son, our Savior Jesus!

Community Lutheran is a church of average, ordinary people coming together as a family to gain a better understanding of God’s plan for all of us in the real-world here and now; to celebrate the Good News of His love,  forgiveness, and salvation; and to join together in praise.

Whether you're new to the area, revisiting church, or seeking hope, we invite you to join us Sundays @ 10:00 AM as we gather to hear God’s purpose for our lives. Learn about enduring peace, community, and joy found only in Jesus Christ, that go beyond the ups and downs of this world.

I'm New

Whether it's been awhile, or it's your first time in church, we get it. Take a look at the following Q&A so you know what to expect when you come to Community Lutheran Church. And don't ever hesitate to contact us if you have any questions we didn't answer!

What are worship services like?

On Sunday mornings (and other holidays), we gather to hear God's Word and focus on His love and forgiveness. Each service emphasizes that while we are all sinners, Christ’s sacrifice offers us grace and hope.

How long are services?

Our services last about an hour to an hour and a half, giving us time to worship together meaningfully without feeling rushed.

Do I need to bring anything, like a Bible or food?

Just yourself! For worship, we have Bibles and song books, and the program is printed and on screen. For refreshments, everything is already prepared in advance by the congregation. Please join us, and don't worry about bringing anything!

Is childcare available?

We encourage children to be part of our worship. During each service, we offer a special Children's Message for them. For families needing a space for their child, a children's room is available where parents can still hear the service.

What is your worship style?

Our worship combines traditional and modern elements, focusing on Scripture, prayer, and songs everyone can join. Our music is designed to encourage participation, with lyrics on the screen or in print to follow along.

What should I wear?

Come as you are! Some prefer formal attire, while others are comfortable in casual clothes. We welcome you just as you are.

What does Community Lutheran believe?

We are a Christian community centered on the Gospel. We believe that, though we are all sinners, Jesus Christ’s life, death, and resurrection offer us the sure confidence of full forgiveness and eternal life.

What time should I arrive?

We are on Hawaii time, so we don't always start right on the dot. If you're 5-10 minutes late, you're right on time :-) Arriving about 5-10 minutes before the service starts will give you plenty of time to find a seat and get settled. If you’re new, feel free to stop by the welcome area for a quick hello and any information you might need.

Will I be asked to introduce myself?

No, we won’t single you out. We’re glad you’re here and want you to feel comfortable to worship at your own pace. You’re welcome to introduce yourself if you’d like!

Do I have to be a Christian?

How can you believe in someone you've never really known? We all need to start somewhere. We welcome you to join us to learn more about the only message that really matters: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but shall have eternal life" (John 3:16).

Strength for the New Year

"The Sovereign LORD has given me a well-instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary." (Isaiah 50:4)

The new year has just begun. Are you weary already?

You may have thought the new year would bring the turn of a page, a new start, the beginning of great new things. But then you may have discovered that the same problems hung around, and the same accusations rang in your ears, and the same hindrances kept you from being the best version of yourself.

What is to be done? The Lord provides the answer. When Jesus came into this world, he encountered accusations and misunderstandings, mocking, spitting, and beatings. He endured all that for your sake, to make things right between you and God. You have peace with God through your Lord Jesus Christ.

That peace is the word that sustains the weary. The difficulties of this life are much easier to bear when you have someone to bear them with. Jesus is always there for you with his promises. Your weakness and your weariness do not scare him away.

Morning by morning, Jesus returns with his word of peace and forgiveness. Evening by evening, he comforts you with the assurance that he will always be with you. If you are not weary now, you certainly will be sometime this year. Jesus will sustain you.

Prayer: Lord, when I am weary, send me strength, and give me the peace that passes all understanding through Jesus Christ. Amen.
