New Hope Oahu is my sanctuary! I thank God every day for bringing me to this church the summer of 2015. I have been faithfully attending their youth ministry for four years now and I have no words to express the impact that both the people and experiences I have had here have changed my life forever. I can truly say that New Hope really is a family. The pastors and youth leaders have given me so much wisdom and instilled such a deep foundation of prayer and love for others in me. Their hearts to spread the love of God like a wild fire throughout upcoming generations is so inspiring. The second you step foot onto the campus you can immediately sense the holy spirit. In every single aspect God is the center of it all. From the greeters, to the volunteers who help with parking, the ushers, or leaders who pray over the seats you sit on before service and help set up and take down. It is obvious that there is such immense thought put into each service and it is all done with the brightest smiles. The worship will bring you to tears and the performances will leave you so touched. This church proves that family goes beyond blood and I am so honored that I get to be a part of something so incredible. There is no place like New Hope and I am so proud to share its beauty with all of my friends while I’m am away at college through the live streams! The amount of love is unbelievable and it’s impossible to leave without a hug and a smile that lasts you all day long. If you are looking for a place to be immersed in a positive, uplifting environment and you are ready to experience revival, then this is the place for you,...
Read moreSuper church-- the setting, the people, the service, and the message. It's a mega-church with a smaller-church feel. Contemporary style worship. Covid protocols are in place and strictly followed with a well-produced video reminder prior to the service. We visited the 2nd service as tourists and felt warmly welcomed.
We also took part in the baptism on Sand Island that Sunday, invited by a friend of ours who is involved with New Hope, and everyone made us feel like we were lifelong members. It was a lovely ceremony even though we had to keep our masks on even while being dunked lol. Highly recommend this church family. LOVED the liturgical hula dancers as well. So unique (as east-coasters) and awesome!
Solidly Biblically based non-denominational. Don't be put off by folks raising their palms to the sky if that's not your thing; it's okay! (I've always found that a bit unsettling and I've been around that sort of response hundreds of times over.) It's just an outward expression of being moved by the Spirit at New Hope Oahu. Very impressed with the pastor, too; humble and down-to-earth and not like some others who sometimes seem like untouchable mega-pastors up on...
Read moreBeyond blessed with the support and spiritual growth I have received at this church. A lot of my testimony is between me and God, but I will say this church is currently helping me develop to be a righteous man of God. I enjoy life group and my life group lead (Chad) is awesome. The youth is supportive, and everyone has their own walk with God.
When people dislike church, they tend to dislike those who shun them. My piece of advice to you all reading this is to find a home church where you won’t be judged. Don’t put man on the pedestal, and rely on man to be your telephone to God. Be YOUR own telephone to God.
I found a church aka this one where I get to break bread with brothers and truly fellowship while working on my relationship with God.
Praise Jesus! I give thanks to God for speaking into these people who lead this church. To be able to spread the word, and do so without manipulating scripture. God bless! Jesus...
